The move is in line with the ‘Beyond the Return’ initiative in order to attract more foreigners. This means individuals coming to Ghana are not mandated to acquire a visa before arriving in the country.
The visas could be handed over to them upon arrival and the policy took effect between December 22, 2022, to January 15, 2023. This follows consultations with the Foreign Affairs, Interior and Tourism Ministries, Ghana Immigration Service, and the Ghana Tourism Authority.
The ‘Beyond the Return’ Initiative, is a 10-year plan to commemorate the 400th anniversary of the arrival of the first recorded enslaved Africans in Virginia in 1619. It’s under the theme ‘A decade of African Renaissance (2020-2030)’. It is built on seven pillars aimed at showcasing the country’s investment potential and consolidating its diaspora engagement programmes.

The initiative has attracted widespread interest among Africans in the Diaspora. A large number of descendants of the enslaved people have since travelled to Ghana and some of them relocated to the country since 2019.
