🇬🇭 Ghana visa requirements for Burkinabe citizens

Entry rules for Burkina Faso passport holders

Holders of a valid passport from Burkina Faso can travel to Ghana for tourism or short business trips without applying for a visa, for stays of up to 90 days. You'll typically just need a passport valid for at least six months beyond your arrival date, and you may be asked to show proof of onward travel or sufficient funds at the border.

The 90-day limit applies to the visit itself — if you plan to stay longer, work, or study in Ghana, you'll need to apply for the appropriate visa or permit before traveling.

Entry rules can change at short notice. Always confirm current requirements with the official Ghana immigration authority or your nearest embassy before booking.

How this compares

The Burkinabe passport ranks #150 worldwide, opening 56 destinations without a visa arranged in advance (30 visa-free, 25 with a visa on arrival and 1 with an eTA). Ghana is one of them.

The arrangement is reciprocal: Ghanaian citizens traveling to Burkina Faso face the same requirement (visa-free).

Western Africa is fully open to Burkinabe travelers — all 15 destinations in the region can be entered without arranging a visa first.
