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.
簽證類型包括：
- 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:
- 有效護照影本
- 顯示員工在迦納工作資格的履歷
- 醫療證明
- 員工居住國的警方背景調查
In addition to these documents, the employer must provide some corporate documents, which may include the following:
- 僱傭合約
- A current audit code
- 免稅證明
- 公司準則的規定
- Certificates of incorporation and registration
- Certificate to commence business
- 公司向迦納當地員工宣傳此工作的證明
After obtaining a work permit, nationals from other countries will still need a residence permit before they can begin working in Ghana. 此許可證的必要文件包括：
- 2 護照照片
- 有效的護照正本
- 經核准的工作許可證
- 僱傭合約
- 非公民 ID 卡
- 僱主的商業登記文件和稅務證明
申請流程
雖然在迦納獲得工作和居留許可所需的文件清單似乎令人生畏，但申請程序相對簡單。
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.
工作許可和居留許可的申請應提交至 迦納移民局 （GIS）。 一旦 GIS 批准了兩項許可證，員工就可以前往迦納並開始工作。
其他重要考量
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. 除了標準文件外，申請人還需要提供與員工的關係證明，例如結婚或出生證明。
