A passport is required to travel to Ghana. To get a passport, visit your local post office or passport facility and fill out a passport application. The application will need you to include two recent passport size photos and the acceptance fee. Once your passport is received, be sure to sign your name on the signature line within the passport book and keep the passport in a safe place.
To travel to Ghana, the traveler must acquire a yellow fever shot as well as a visa to enter the country. To get this required immunization, visit your local health department and inquire about shots for foreign travel. The yellow fever shot is sometimes expensive, ranging from $30 to more than $200 in some cities. This type of immunization is useful in working to prevent malaria from mosquito bites and jaundice. The yellow fever shot has a small dosage of the virus within the shot and will cause your body to build up the required immunities to fend off the malaria virus for up to 10 years.
Getting a visa to Ghana is easy because the Ghanaian government works hard to bring in new tourist to this developing country. To get a visa to enter Ghana, visit the Ghanaian embassy website at ghanaembassy.org, download the visa form, complete it and send it back along with the required fee and documents.
