Being a 15 year resident in Cuba and heading for Ghana! Please explain!
". SAFETY: 15 years as a permanent resident in Cuba definitely made me relax, so the question is what should I absolutely avoid doing in Accra or Ghana in general. I repeat that I don't go around at night, it's difficult, so I'm not going to get into any strange hole looking for trouble. How are the bus journeys across the country? . ".

I have a plane ticket for Thursday. I know a bit about Accra but I'm interested in any more info / contact you could PM me on the others cities (cape coast, takoradi, kumasi, tamale, sunyani, others), especially the nightlife and where the SW can be found. Yes I did read the forum.
If somebody wants to have a drink there, just contact me here.

AIR FLIGHT: I saw that Lufthansa travels from Milan via Brussels for 460 euros. Great. The problem is this absurd pandemic and tourist travel bans. Not bad, I could also spend my mornings attending an English language course at the Ace School of Languages, in this case obtaining a visa for study purposes https://aceschooloflanguages.com/eng...sion-programs/ A 1-month course costs $ 330 and only takes me 4 hours in the morning. Useful and delightful. Am I too paranoid or do you recommend another strategy? The school is in the Lapaz area and not far from Adabraka where I understand there are several decent accommodations around 150 cedis. Il Massimo would be an apartment but the costs are impossible, at least looking at sites like Airbnb.

THE COUNTRY: after 1 month in Accra I would like to enjoy another month of sea, relax with a sunbed, umbrella and beer (and the pussy, of course). Can Cape Coast be?
I'll stop here, I don't want to exaggerate. The fact is that I have read the whole forum and I have too much information and they send me into crisis ahahaha.
Thanks dear.

I have to solve the problem of subscribing to the forum (as I only use debit cards) to be able to discuss better in private.

As every place in the world, also Ghana is made of environments, situations, cases. Enter the appropriated one that fits for you, forget the rest. Your income is like mine but when in Ghana I never give up anything. I avoid the made for white people places and enjoy where blacks are going.
Feel free to enquire for budget solutions, via PM or on this board.

I have used Travel Document Systems (TDS) for a few visas over the years. They have a handful of offices around the United States (I'm not sure if you're in the USA, though) and I have always found their service to be quick and professional. They do, of course, tack on a fee for their service, but it allows you to sit back and relax, knowing that an agent is dealing with the consulates and embassies instead of you. But, you still have to do the pre-trip paperwork and FedEx all of it to TDS.

Posts: 117Visa's etc
Recent Africa points of interest; I considered Liberia, Sierra Leone, Ghana and Gambia; all but S Leone (Freetown) require physically shipping passport to the consulate which I was not interested in. I did get an e-visa for Kenya (as I did with TZ), thinking MBA but bus class flights were about 50% more expensive compared to flights into Dar, TZ for me; I ended up in Dar, again. Perhaps MBA later this year with no regrets as Dar is target rich.
I had also considered DKR, Senegal too as they have no visa requirement but tickets were equally expensive with MBA and I am not a francophone, so there would be that. I received a return call from the Sierra Leone consulate that the caller assured me a visa would be issued on arrival; would definitely want to confirm that with the airline but Freetown would be a close pick behind MBA. FWIW.

Posts: 764Ghana eVisa
Just writing to let everyone here in the forum know that I've been in recent contact with an employee of the Embassy of Ghana. I saw an article online that stated an eVisa (electronic visa) was scheduled to be available for Ghana around the middle of this year. However, the embassy employee stated that they haven't received any update from the government of Ghana regarding the eVisa.
So for now, it looks like we are all going to have to apply for a visa to Ghana the old-fashioned way. The eVisa is the way of the future. I purchased an eVisa for Uzbekistan in late 2019 and the process was quick and cheap. I did the old-fashioned visa for my trip to Russia a few years back and it was tedious and somewhat expensive. The minute Ghana gets an eVisa, their tourism is really going to explode.
