Tourists Visa to usa? by Garpo54
Have met a gal online and am very cautious and taking baby steps so far but would like to know if anyone can tell me how difficult it is for her to obtain a tourists Visa to the USA? I know that I can start the application process and pay the ...
I tried to do exactly what you would like to do in this regard. I sent the money for the fee to my sweetheart, she paid the fee and got her application. We had high hopes that she would get a tourist visa and when she arrived on American soil, we ... Read More
International money transfer by phipiemar
Dear All, What service do you use to make money transfers to the outside?
Just a little tongue in cheek humor - what? send money FROM Ghana? That's a concept that is just inconceivable, a one way street. I just can't imagine money going out of Ghana. But, if you must, I don't see why World Remit can't ... Read More

Getting married in Ghana by Armand
Hi all, We invite all the ones who got married in Ghana or who are about to get married in Ghana to participate in this thread :) What are the formalities to get married in Ghana? Is it the same for a couple of foreigners of for a mixed couple ...
My first reply to this was getting a bit long. Here's another little something you may consider - Belize. Belize is a former Crown colony, and Ghana was a possession of the U.K. and as such, Belize allows citizens of Ghana to visit without a ... Read More

I was going to do exactly that, and I may still, but I'm not leaning toward the fiancee visa. Getting married is a huge hurdle, but anyone who thinks a spousal visa is theirs for the applying, is deluding themselves. There are things you must ... Read More

You're talking apples and oranges, mixing up renewal of a passport with some, but not all, requirements to obtain a visa to enter The United States of America. As for renewal, if it's an American passport, you will need $160 US, but it ... Read More

Hello, We invite you to share information regarding some of the apps that have helped to facilitate your move abroad in Ghana. This will help expats-to-be who are making the move as well. Which apps did you use while preparing your move to ...
I'm sure that there are plenty of useful apps, but at the top of my list would be WorldRemit.com, MTN Mobile Money, and Google Maps. You may have a hard time getting the MTN Mobile Money and so you might need the help of an established local ... Read More

Touche - I guess many have beaten me to the punch on the import business. I'll tell you where I get the idea that things aren't available in Ghana. I search online shopping for things like cell phones, computers, etc and as you say, they are ... Read More
Best cell phone companies in Ghana? by RainFlower
Hi all. I'm familiar with vodafone, but what are the best mobile phone companies in Ghana as far as price and reliability?
Perhaps they all have Mobile Money, but loading Ghana Cedis onto the Mobile Money account is a daunting task. World Remit can do it for a fee of $3.99. I'm sure that if all mobile providers offered Mobile Money, World Remit would be available ... Read More

I would go for an import/export business. Although I have no ideas on what to export from Ghana, I know that the most basic commodities are lacking, so almost anything you import can bring a profit. Think cell phones, toiletries, health and beauty ... Read More

Hi all. I'm familiar with vodafone, but what are the best mobile phone companies in Ghana as far as price and reliability?
Cell phone service is not what you're used to no matter who you use, but here's another consideration that can tip the scales: Mobile Money. Only MTN and Airtel have Mobile Money. You can register your SIM to have Mobile Money and then use ... Read More

I have a friend living in Accra who lost both her ID and passport at the airport when returning from the US to Ghana. What are the cost to replace both items? Thanks in advance.
You failed to mention whether the passport was Republic of Ghana or United States of America. If the passport was American, she could be in some trouble getting a replacement, as documentation for the replacement is the same as for the original; ... Read More

Why wouldn't it be that easy? Everything I've read indicates that your bride is entitled to a spouse visa, or K-3. Check this out: https://www.uscis.gov/family/family-us-citizens/spouse/bringing-spouses-live-united-states-permanent-residents Read More
