The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ghana has released a statement in response to the recent revision of the reciprocity schedule by the United States, which has reduced the validity of B1/B2 visas for certain African countries, including Ghana, from five years to three months for single entry.
According to the Ministry, the government of Ghana is presently examining the issue and remains dedicated to expeditiously collaborating with its longstanding partner, the US Government, to address the concerns raised.
Authorities will ensure that applicants comply with US visa application procedures and requirements to prevent overstays, the statement assured.
Furthermore, the Ministry emphasised that Ghana remains committed to strengthening bilateral relations with the United States. Official statistics, contrary to what the Ministry described as “false narratives,” reveal that Ghana has issued an impressive average of 70.42% multiple long-term visas to US passport holders, consistent with existing bilateral agreements.
