ETA Requirement for Ghanaian Passport Holder

An Electronic Travel Authorisation (eTA) is a mandatory digital travel document required for Ghanaian passport holders visiting certain destinations. While it is not a visa, an eTA acts as a pre-screening process that must be completed online before departure.

Now, visa-free doesn’t always mean hassle-free because airline denials can happen.

And the common reasons are:
