Big win for Ghana!
The US visa restrictions imposed on Ghana has been reversed.
Ghanaians can now be eligible for five-year multiple entry visas and other enhanced consular privileges.
This good news was directly communicated to me by US Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs, Allison Ho**er at a bilateral meeting earlier today, in the margins of the UN General Assembly.
I am really pleased that months of high-level diplomatic negotiations has led to a successful outcome.
It will be recalled that the US imposed visa restrictions on Ghana and other countries in July this year. The affected countries were slapped with a maximum three-month single entry visas and other limitations. In the specific case of Ghana, the Trump Administration said they were reacting to many years of visa overstays mainly by students.
