As a visiting faculty/staff/student, your visa is a permit to enter the country at any time during the period it was issued for. On entry into the country, you will be given a number of days at the point of entry to stay, usually 60-90 days. You are required by law to extend your permit to stay in the country for an extended period of time after that.

If you require a visa, an invitation letter will be provided on request for the application of a visa. It is advised that you obtain a visa, where applicable, before arriving in Ghana. https://home.gis.gov.gh/permits-and-visas/
