US lifts visa restrictions on Ghana

The United States has lifted the visa restrictions in Ghana applied under Section 243(d) of the U.S. Immigration and Nationality Act.
A statement released by the public affairs section of the embassy of the United States of America in Ghana noted that the validity period from number of entries on new tourists and business visas (B1, BB2 and B1/B2) for all Ghanaian executive and legislative branch employees, their spouses, and their children under 21 will revert to receiving the normal validity, based on reciprocity, which is currently five years with multiple entries.
It, however, stated that all pending non-immigrant visas (NIV) to domestic employees (A3 and G5) OF Ghanaian diplomats posted in the United states that were received during the visa restrictions will now be processed.
This development follows the establishment of mutually agreed process for identification validating and issuance of travel documentation to Ghanaian citizens under final orders of removal in a manner consistent with international standards issued by the International Civil Aviation organization of which Ghana is a member state.
Visa processing will return to the normal procedures from January 17 2020.
