Re-Entry Visa (Single)

The Single Re-Entry Visa is a regulatory tool established under the Immigration Act, 2000 (Act 573) to manage the movement of foreign nationals who are lawfully present in Ghana but do not yet hold a full residence permit. It fills a vital gap for residents who need to leave the country temporarily for personal or professional reasons and ensures they can return without having to re-apply for a standard entry visa, thereby maintaining the continuity of their legal status within the country.

This visa is specifically for foreign residents who are currently in Ghana and plan to depart temporarily. The ideal applicant is a non-citizen who has a valid reason to exit and re-enter, such as a short-term worker or a dependent who needs to travel abroad and return to their established life in Ghana. It is distinctive because it is a single-use authorization issued specifically to facilitate the return of those already integrated into the local system, distinguishing it from standard tourist or business entry visas.
