Ghana will require all travellers arriving in the country to complete a mandatory health declaration form from Thursday, November 12, 2026, the Ghana Health Service announced.

The new requirement applies to every passenger entering Ghana, regardless of the mode of transport. The health declaration will be collected at points of entry, including airports, seaports and land borders.

Officials said the measure is part of the government’s ongoing public‑health strategy, aimed at monitoring and managing potential health risks among inbound travellers.

Travellers are advised to be prepared to fill out the form upon arrival and to keep any supporting documentation handy. Failure to comply could result in delays or denial of entry.

The announcement was issued by the Ghana Health Service, with no further details released at this time.
