Ghana does not issue work visas in the United States. The Embassy of Ghana advises that travelers apply for a business visa and upon arrival in Ghana, the Ministry of Labor will issue a work permit. It is recommended that the host in Ghana make necessary arrangements with the Department of Labor in advance.
