GHANA: Immigration Service Requires Medical Certificates be Obtained from its Headquarters in Ghana
February 10, 2018
The Ghana Immigration Service (GIS) has posted a brief announcement of a new policy, effective 15th February 2018, requiring all new applicants for work and residence permits to obtain medical certificates from the GIS medical facility at its headquarters in Ghana.
Currently, a medical certificate in support of a work permit application may be issued by a local doctor in the applicant’s home country, and the work permit application is then made before the applicant travels to Ghana.
If it goes ahead, this new policy will have significant implications for the work permit application process. So far, no further information has been released.
