Ghana’s sustained economic growth makes this West African nation a viable option for businesses searching for locations to expand to. But before you take the leap, you’ll need to make sure all international employees have the necessary visas and permits to work for your company in Ghana.
Types of work visas in Ghana
Like any other country, Ghana offers a specific set of visas to nationals from other countries. Citizens of nations within the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), as well as countries with visa- free arrangements with Ghana, are able to travel to the country without an entry visa. All other nationals will need to obtain a visa from the Ghanaian embassy in their country of residence.
签证类型包括：
- Single-entry visas, which allow the holder to cross the Ghanaian border once and stay for up to 3 months.
- Multiple-entry visas, issued with a validity of 6 months, allow unlimited entries into Ghana during this period. The maximum permitted stay per visit is typically up to 60 days.
In addition to an entry visa, nationals from other countries will need a residence permit and a work permit to live and work in Ghana.
Requirements to obtain Ghana work visas
It’s up to the employer to apply for a work permit on behalf of the employee. The employee will need to provide several documents, which may include the following:
- 有效护照的复印件
- 证明员工在加纳工作资格的简历
- 医疗证明
- 来自员工居住国的警察背景调查
In addition to these documents, the employer must provide some corporate documents, which may include the following:
- 雇佣合约
- A current audit code
- 清税证明
- 公司代码的法规
- Certificates of incorporation and registration
- Certificate to commence business
- 证明公司向加纳当地工人宣传了这份工作
After obtaining a work permit, nationals from other countries will still need a residence permit before they can begin working in Ghana. 本许可证所需的文件包括：
- 2 护照照片
- 有效护照原件
- 经批准的工作许可证
- 雇佣合约
- 非公民身份证
- 雇主的商业登记文件和税务许可
申请流程
虽然在加纳获得工作和居留许可所需的文件清单似乎令人生畏，但申请程序相对简单。
There are 2 main types of work permits in Ghana, the In-Quota work permit and the Discretionary Quota work permit.
- For the In-Quota work permit, there are a number of steps and documents required, including applying for the quota from GIPC, obtaining an entry visa, and completing the National Identification Authority Registration (for a non-Citizens Card), attending a medical examination, and obtaining a residence permit after arriving in Ghana.
- For the Discretionary Quota work permit, applicants will need to apply for a work permit, obtain an entry visa, complete the National Identification Authority Registration (for a non-Citizens Card), attend a medical examination, and obtain the residence permit after arriving in Ghana.
工作许可证和居留许可证的申请应提交给 加纳移民局（GIS）。 一旦 GIS 批准了这两份许可证，员工就可以前往加纳并开始工作。
其他重要考虑因素
There’s a strong possibility that some employees will wish to bring family members along to Ghana. International employees who hold residence permits can apply for dependent resident permits on behalf of spouses, children, parents, and grandparents over the age of 65. 除标准文件外，申请人还需要提供与员工的关系证明，如结婚证或出生证明。
