Ghana Immigration Service trains 40 officers ahead of E-Visa rollout
Ghana Immigration Service (GIS) held a two-day training session in Accra for 40 officers ahead of the nationwide rollout of Ghana's new electronic visa (e-visa) system on May 25, 2026. The training brought together personnel from immigration control points across the country. The Acting Deputy Comptroller-General of Immigration in charge of Command Post and operations, Mr. Faisal Disu, called on officers to demonstrate discipline, professionalism, and commitment.
According to Mr. Disu, the e-visa initiative is "a new way of working, anchored on transparency and accountability," stressing that data protection must remain a core responsibility of officers. He explained that the platform would generate traveller information critical to national security, economic planning, intelligence cooperation, and international collaboration. He stated that the Management of GIS remains committed to continuous capacity building, system upgrades, and the provision of operational tools.
Participants in the training will be taken through the workflow of the system, monitoring procedures, document verification checklists, and online payment processes. The opening ceremony was attended by senior GIS officials and partners, including Acting Deputy Comptroller-General (Legal) Philip Peter Andoh, Rock Africa CEO, Francis Gavor, and other Departmental Heads.
