Visa requirements
What students should know before travelling
Visa requirements depend on whether a student is arriving from an ECOWAS country or from outside the ECOWAS region.
Students from ECOWAS countries
Students arriving in Ghana from ECOWAS countries are not required to obtain visas, since Ghana is a member of ECOWAS.
Non-ECOWAS students
Non-ECOWAS students will require a visa. Ensign Global University provides guidance to help international students understand and prepare for the visa process.
