🇬🇭 Ghana

Citizenship by Registration Visa

Accelerated path to Ghanaian citizenship available to citizens of approved countries who have resided in Ghana for 5 years (or shorter period at Minister's discretion) and can speak an indigenous language. Marriage to a Ghanaian citizen combined with 5 years residence allows registration. Note: Foreign women married to Ghanaian men can acquire nationality immediately, while foreign men married to Ghanaian women must establish permanent residency first - this gender disparity exists in current law.
