The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration has expressed concern over the poor treatment of Ghanaian visa applicants at various embassies, high commissions, and consulates.
In a formal communication to diplomatic missions, the Ministry stated, “It has come to our attention that some applicants are not treated appropriately when they visit for their appointments.
“In some cases, they are left at the mercy of the weather without conducive waiting areas.”
The Ministry further highlighted the long waiting periods for visa appointments, saying, “There are credible reports suggesting that applicants have to wait for about six months to secure appointments.”
Additionally, it pointed out the lack of emergency services and proper channels for addressing difficulties with online visa applications.
Calling for urgent reforms, the Ministry appealed to diplomatic missions to take necessary action, emphasizing, “These issues are of deep concern to us, and it will be appreciated if steps are taken to improve services for applicants.”
