The United States Embassy in Ghana has restored long-term visa privileges for Ghanaian citizens, ending the short-term limits that had caused widespread concern.

The July 2025 restrictions had limited travelers to three-month single-entry visas due to high overstay rates, particularly among students.
The restoration followed months of diplomatic negotiations between Ghanaian officials and US counterparts, culminating in a high-level bilateral discussion during the UN General Assembly.
The outcome strengthens the diplomatic relationship between the two nations and signals renewed trust in Ghanaian travelers.
This development ensures easier planning for students, business travelers, and tourists, who now have extended validity periods for their visas. The return of long-term visa access marks a significant improvement in travel flexibility and opens new opportunities for educational, professional, and personal engagement in the United States.
