Visas
If you hold an ordinary Australian passport you do not need a visa for any stay up to 90 days, whether your visit is for business or as a tourist. After 90 days re-entry will not be allowed again within six months, so for a longer stay you will need to have a business visa.
For further information please contact your nearest Ghanaian Embassy or Consulate prior to arrival.
