Ghana’s inclusion in South Africa’s E Visa list is set to streamline the visa application process, making it more accessible and user-friendly for travelers from Ghana.
To initiate the online visa application process, Ghanaian travelers can visit the official website of the Department of Home Affairs of the Republic of South Africa at https://ehome.dha.gov.za/epermit/home. Here, comprehensive information regarding the visa application process, including essential requirements and guidelines, is available.
It is essential to bear in mind that while the online application process simplifies the initial visa application, certain standard prerequisites will still be verified upon arrival at designated entry points in South Africa. These prerequisites commonly include passport details, a letter of invitation, or proof of accommodation, along with a bank statement.

It is expected that this advancement will inspire more Ghanaians to explore South Africa’s rich cultural, economic, and natural treasures.
The High Commission of South Africa in Ghana encourages all eligible Ghanaian travelers to make the most of this straightforward visa application process, contributing to the ease of travel for both nations’ citizens.
