FAQ

Please fill out the application form below.

All volunteers are expected to pay for their own flights to Ghana plus accommodation, food and any additional costs connected to the trip i.e. visa and vaccination costs.

Under most circumstances, visas for entry into Ghana must be obtained from the
Ghanaian embassy nearest to your country of residence. Visas are valid for a stay of
up to 3 months in Ghana, after which a visa extension should be obtained at a Ghana Immigration Service office.

Volunteers will be responsible for ensuring they receive the appropriate vaccinations
for visiting Ghana prior to their trip. Documentation of yellow fever vaccination is
required for entry to Ghana. https://www.passporthealthusa.com/destination-advice/ghana/
