Foreign Affairs Minister Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa has announced that visa applications to Ghana will now be processed within just five working days, down from the previous average of four to six weeks.

This bold move, which takes immediate effect, forms part of the Mahama administration’s push to make Ghana the top destination for investors and tourists alike.

“On January 7th, President Mahama declared that Ghana is open for business. At the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, we are determined to give real, practical meaning to that promise,” Mr Okudzeto Ablakwa stated in a Facebook post on Wednesday, May 21.

The Ministry says it has deployed adequate resources across Ghana’s diplomatic missions to ensure the smooth implementation of the new directive.

However, Ablakwa was clear that the expedited timeline does not guarantee approval.

“A decision—approval or denial—will be made within five days. This is not automatic visa approval,” he emphasised.

This visa reset is expected to enhance Ghana’s appeal in a highly competitive global tourism and investment market, reducing bureaucratic barriers that have long discouraged potential visitors and business partners.

“Ghana is truly open for business,” Mr Okudzeto Ablakwa declared, adding, “Come enjoy the Black Star experience.”
