Ghana’s passport has been ranked 13th among Africa’s 54 countries, reflecting relatively strong travel access across the continent despite its lower position on the global table.
Data published by Passport Reports shows that Ghanaian passport holders can enter 71.7% of African destinations without obtaining a traditional visa before travelling. The figure includes countries offering visa-free entry, visas on arrival, electronic travel authorizations and other simplified arrangements.
Out of the other 53 African countries, Ghanaians can travel visa-free to 25 destinations. Ten offer visas on arrival or similar entry arrangements, while three require an electronic travel authorization. The remaining 15 require visitors to obtain visas before departure.
The continental position gives Ghana a stronger regional mobility standing than its global ranking might suggest. Passport Reports places the Ghanaian passport 123rd worldwide, with a Mobility Score of 72 and access to 36.4% of the destinations included in the assessment.
Globally, Ghanaians can enter 42 destinations without visas, obtain visas on arrival or simplified entry in 26 countries and use electronic travel authorizations for four destinations. A total of 126 locations require visas before travel.
The Caribbean offers Ghanaian travelers the highest access rate outside Africa at 81.3%. This comprises 10 visa-free destinations, two offering visas on arrival or related arrangements and one requiring an electronic travel authorization.
Barbados and Dominica permit qualifying Ghanaian visitors to stay for up to 180 days, while Fiji and Vanuatu offer stays of up to 120 days. Countries including Kenya, Mauritius, Rwanda, Senegal, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe are listed with stays of up to 90 days.
Ghana’s access rate stands at 50% in Oceania and 47.8% under the report’s North American grouping. The rates fall to 26% in Asia and 25% in South America.
Europe remains the most restrictive region covered by the data, with all 47 destinations requiring Ghanaian travelers to secure visas before departure. All six Gulf countries also require advance visas, resulting in a zero-percent simplified-access rate for both regional categories.
The Middle East records an access rate of 11.8%, with Jordan and Lebanon listed under visa-on-arrival arrangements and the remaining 15 destinations requiring visas in advance.
Ghana’s current Mobility Score represents a decline from 76 in 2025, when the passport was ranked 114th globally. Passport Reports did not attribute the change to any particular political, diplomatic or economic development.
Travelers are advised to confirm the latest entry requirements with the relevant embassy, airline or immigration authority before departure, as visa rules and permitted lengths of stay can change.
