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.
ビザの種類は次のとおりです。
- 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:
- 有効なパスポートのコピー
- 従業員のガーナでの就労資格を示す履歴書
- 診断書
- 従業員の居住国からの警察の身元調査
In addition to these documents, the employer must provide some corporate documents, which may include the following:
- 雇用契約
- A current audit code
- 税務申告書
- 会社コードの規程
- Certificates of incorporation and registration
- Certificate to commence business
- 同社がガーナの地元労働者にこの仕事を宣伝した証拠
After obtaining a work permit, nationals from other countries will still need a residence permit before they can begin working in Ghana. この許可に必要な文書には、以下が含まれます。
- 2 パスポート写真
- 有効なオリジナルパスポート
- 承認された作業許可
- 雇用契約
- 非市民IDカード
- 事業登録書類および雇用主の税務申告書
申請プロセス
ガーナでの就労許可や居住許可を取得するために必要な文書のリストは難しいように思えるかもしれませんが、申請手続きは比較的簡単です。
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.
就労許可および居住許可の申請は 、ガーナ移民局（GIS）に提出する必要があります。 GISが両方の許可を承認したら、従業員はガーナに出張して作業を開始できます。
その他の重要な考慮事項
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. 標準文書に加えて、申請者は、結婚や出生証明書など、従業員との関係の証拠を提供する必要があります。
