Ghana has the dual appeal of being somewhere I’ve wanted to see, and somewhere I have a legitimate work interest in visiting. The chance to work expense some travel costs and gain a deeper insight into the country’s culture appeals to me.

Visas
Until November 2023 there used to be a visa, but there has been a new waiver agreed upon between SA and Ghana. This allows for 90 days of cumulative travel in the country over the period of 1 year. Should that quota be exceeded for the year, then a visa is required. More details at ghanahighcommission-southafrica.com
