Hi Im planning on going to Ghana I was born in the US..do I need to get my visa b4 I travel there?

Question

Also I read that I need to have a vaccine for yellow fever?..If so where do I get that from?

Answer 1

Hi,

Yes, you need to get a visa from the Ghanaian embassy or consulate (located in New York City, Washington, DC or Houston, TX).  You can download the forms and send in the payment and information with your passport and it will be returned to you.

You must have yellow fever to enter the country, and you can get this from a travel medicine clinic.  Just google those words with your location for a list of clinics.

Hope this helps.
