A Work and Residence Permit is essential for foreign nationals who intend to live and work in Ghana on a long-term basis. This permit allows individuals to both reside in the country and engage in full-time employment with a Ghanaian employer. It is typically issued for an initial period, with the option for renewal, depending on the duration of the employment contract or assignment.

Applicants for the Work and Residence Permit must secure a job offer from a recognised company in Ghana, which will serve as the sponsor for the permit. The application process involves submitting a range of documents, including an employment contract, proof of qualifications, and evidence that the job position cannot be easily filled by a Ghanaian citizen. Additionally, the applicant must provide a police clearance certificate from their country of residence, a medical certificate, and proof of accommodation in Ghana.

The Ghana Immigration Service carefully reviews all applications to ensure compliance with immigration laws and the protection of the local workforce. As part of the process, applicants may also need to demonstrate that their employment will contribute positively to the Ghanaian economy or knowledge base.

A Short-Term Work Permit is ideal for foreign nationals who need to undertake temporary work assignments in Ghana. This permit is typically granted for specific, short-term projects, consulting roles, or temporary contracts, usually lasting between one to six months. It is suitable for professionals such as consultants, technicians, or experts brought in for short-duration engagements.

To apply for a Short-Term Work Permit, applicants must have a contract or invitation from a Ghanaian company or organisation detailing the nature of the work, its duration, and why the applicant’s skills are required for the assignment. The permit process requires submitting documents such as proof of qualifications, a police clearance certificate, a letter of invitation, and other necessary supporting materials. Unlike long-term permits, this visa cannot be extended beyond the agreed-upon term, and applicants must leave the country at the conclusion of the assignment.
