The Ghana Tourism Authority is excited to announce that from December 1, 2024, to January 15, 2025, visitors can enjoy a Non-Pre-Approval Visa on Arrival in Ghana. This progressive policy is a key element of the December in GH campaign, part of the transformative 10-year "Beyond the Return" initiative.

Designed to simplify entry, this visa waiver makes it easier than ever for travelers to experience Ghana's rich culture, vibrant festivals, and unforgettable events featured in the December in GH calendar.

The Government of Ghana is poised to attract an influx of visitors, amplifying the tourism sector and affirming Ghana's reputation as a premier global
destination for visitors and investors alike.

In a directive issued on November 28, 2024, Hon. Kwaku Ofori Asiamah, Minister of Transport, called on all Airlines to update their systems promptly to implement this new policy.

This initiative not only aligns with the "Beyond the Return" vision but also strengthens Ghana's connections with the global African community, fostering cultural exchange and economic growth. The pre-approval waiver exemplifies Ghana's commitment to welcoming the African diaspora and international visitors, ensuring a smoother, more accessible travel experience.

Akwasi Agyeman, CEO of the Ghana Tourism Authority, emphasizes the significance of this new visa regime, urging travelers to take advantage of this exceptional opportunity and fully immerse themselves in the exciting December in GH festivities.

The December in GH campaign showcases a dynamic calendar of officially endorsed events by the Ghana Tourism Authority and the Beyond the Return Steering Committee, designed to draw travelers who plan their visits around these exciting activities.

Since its launch in 2019, December in GH has positioned Ghana as a must-visit holiday destination, attracting global travelers eager to engage with the nation's rich arts and culture. This campaign serves as a rallying point for the African family worldwide, inviting a reconnection like never before.
