- UK High Commission in Accra dispelled reports alleging an agreement allowing Ghanaians to travel to the UK visa free has been reached following Boris Johnson’s visit.
- Visa policy was not discussed during British Foreign Minister’s visit.
The British High Commission in Accra has rejected rumored reports by various media outlets suggesting that an agreement has been reached allowing Ghanaian citizens who wish to travel to the United Kingdom for a period of under 90 days to do so visa-free.
Following the British Foreign Minister, Boris Johnson’s visit to Ghana, reports flew high and wide that the former Mayor of London had made promises of visa free travel to the UK for Ghanaian citizens had been made.
Although in a statement released on Saturday, February 18, completely negates the reports and further states that at no time was visa policy discussed during the British Foreign Minister’s visit to Ghana.
“That assertion is entirely incorrect and untrue. Mr Johnson said no such thing, indeed, the general subject of visa policy was not discussed during his visit here.”
“There are no changes to UK visa policy with regard to Ghanaian nationals who wish to visit the UK,” and individuals seeking to travel can read the rules and procedures surrounding visa applications for visits to the UK on the official website of the British High Commission.” The statement further advises.
