What the Ghana visa rules mean for Barbados travellers
Barbados citizens can enter Ghana without a visa and stay for up to 60 days. You only need a valid Barbados passport at the border; immigration officers may still ask for a return or onward ticket, proof of accommodation and enough money for your stay. The 60-day limit usually counts calendar days from your arrival, so book your return flight inside that window.
