🇬🇭 Ghana visa requirements for Yemeni citizens
Yemeni citizens can get a visa on arrival when entering Ghana — no embassy visit needed beforehand.
Entry rules for Yemen passport holders
Yemeni travelers can obtain their visa directly at the border or airport when arriving in Ghana. Bring a passport with at least six months' validity, passport photos, and the visa fee (often payable only in cash). Lines can be long at peak times, so check whether Ghana also offers an e-visa to skip the queue.
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
