Ghana eVisa · For German passport holders

Ghana eVisa for German citizens — sorted before you fly.

Since 25 May 2026, German travellers apply for their Ghana visa online through the country's brand-new eVisa portal — no more appointments at the Ghanaian Embassy in Berlin. New systems come with new pitfalls. We review your documents, lodge them correctly on the official system, and track your eVisa until it reaches your inbox.

Do German citizens need a visa for Ghana?

Yes — German passport holders need a visa for Ghana, and since 25 May 2026 it's issued electronically. The new eVisa replaces embassy appointments in Berlin and postal applications. Lufthansa and Brussels Airlines connect Frankfurt and Munich to Accra daily via direct and one-stop routings, serving both tourism and Germany's strong business ties with Ghana. Your eVisa should be approved before departure — airlines check it at the gate.

How it works

Five steps from enquiry to approved eVisa. We handle the fiddly parts — you plan Accra, Kakum and Cape Coast.

STEP 1

Tell us your trip

Complete our simplified form — about 10 minutes, in plain English, with examples for every field.

STEP 2

Upload documents

Passport bio page, photo, yellow fever certificate, travel plans. We check every file before lodgement.

STEP 3

We fix & lodge

We correct common rejection triggers (blurry scans, mismatched dates) and lodge on the official system.

STEP 4

We track it

You get status updates by email or WhatsApp. If immigration asks for more, we handle the back-and-forth.

STEP 5

eVisa delivered

Your approved eVisa arrives by email. Print it or present it digitally at boarding and on arrival.

Why German travellers use us instead of going direct

You can absolutely apply yourself at evisa.immigration.gov.gh — we say so at the top of every page. Here's the value we add for US$35.

🛡️ Rejection-proofing

Applications bounce for avoidable reasons: blurry passport scans, photos that don't meet spec, missing yellow fever certificates. We catch these before lodgement — and because the US$260 government fee is non-refundable once paid, a bounced DIY application is an expensive mistake.

💬 A human who answers

The official portal has no one to call. With us you get email and WhatsApp support from a real person — including after approval, right up to the check-in desk. Reach us at support@ghanaevisa.org.

🆕 We know the new system

Ghana's eVisa portal launched on 25 May 2026, replacing embassy applications almost overnight. We work in the new system every day, so your application follows this week's rules — not a pre-2026 blog post.
