Ghana Criticizes U.S. Over Sharp Cut in Visa Validity for Its Citizens

The Ghanaian government has criticized the U.S. for reducing B1/B2 visa validity for Ghanaians from five years with multiple entries to three months with a single entry, calling the change a significant departure from long-standing bilateral visa agreements.

In a July 10, 2025 statement, Ghana’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed concern over the impact on Ghanaians traveling for business, education, tourism, and family visits. While acknowledging the U.S.’s right to set visa policies, the ministry emphasized that the new restrictions diverge sharply from previous reciprocal terms.

Ghana attributed the change to concerns over visa overstays and pledged to work toward resolving the issue diplomatically. The ministry also highlighted that from January to July 2025, over 40,000 visas—70% of them multiple-entry—were issued to U.S. citizens, demonstrating Ghana’s commitment to reciprocity.

Foreign Minister Samuel Ablakwa recently led a delegation to Washington, and the government described the talks as productive, promising continued high-level diplomatic engagement to maintain strong ties with the U.S.
