Before your move, ensure you have the necessary visas and permits. The type of visa you require will depend on your purpose of stay – whether it’s for work, study, or retirement. Ensure that your passport is up-to-date and has at least six months of validity remaining.

It's crucial to get a health check-up and ensure you have the recommended vaccinations for Ghana, such as yellow fever, hepatitis A and B, and typhoid. Having comprehensive health insurance that covers you internationally is also advisable.
