METHOD OF PAYMENT

The Ghana High Commission wishes to inform the general public changes in the method of payment for passports, travel certificates and other consular services as follows:

• Payments for all services provided by the Mission should either be by Online Payments or Swipe Card at the Consulate on submission of application.
• The Mission would no longer accept any other form of payments.
• The public is to take note of the changes.

VALIDITY PERIOD – ONLINE PAYMENTS PASSPORTS

Online payments made for passport applications are valid for Six (6) months from the date of payment. Proof of payment must subsequently be presented at the High Commission within the six (6) month period, in the year of application, for the issuance of a receipt to support a passport application.

By regulations, every online application expires after a period of six (6) months. Applicants who, therefore, fail to follow the aforementioned procedure, forfeit the amount paid and will be required to re-submit payment.

Thank You.
