How to get a Ghana visa from Cameroon

Ghana is historically famous for its gold - It was previously called the Gold Coast. Now, Chocolate has probably taken over, with it being one of the key suppliers of Cocoa to the likes of Cadbury's. They also have diamonds and oil and are large producers of many types of woods.

In fact, Ghana is the first country in Sub-Saharan Africa to achieve the Millenium Development Goal 1, which is the target of halving extreme poverty. Ghana has recently become a middle-income country.

Although, Ghana is a relatively stable country, avoid walking alone at night. Foreigners, even during the daytime, are often the target of thefts and muggings.

The best time to visit Ghana is between November - March, when there is little to no rainfall, and every part of the country is easily accessible. Between April and October, the weather in Ghana is rather wet, restricting the ability to travel. Many places might close down for the low-season as well.

The languages spoken in ancient Ghana were Soninke and Mande. There were traditional religions that were practised but Islam greatly spread throughout Ghana and influenced the culture of ancient Ghana. Muslim merchants from the Sahara brought their faith to Ghana.

The Immigration Office can extend visas, provided you do not exceed the visa expiration date before processing the extension.
