What the Ghana visa rules mean for Libya travellers
Libya citizens do not need a full visa for Ghana, but they must obtain an electronic travel authorisation (eTA) online before they fly — valid for stays of up to 90 days. An eTA is linked to your passport number and is usually approved within minutes to a few days; airlines check it at check-in, so apply before you book non-refundable travel.
The main option is the Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA), which costs Free.
