The American Embassy in Ghana has allayed the fears of Ghanaians who want to visit their country.
In a Facebook post, the embassy indicated that the country is still open to Ghanaian visitors who enter the country legally.
It preached against illegal entry, saying, “We remain committed to welcoming visitors from Ghana who wish to study, invest, or engage in business activities in the United States”.
“It is essential for all applicants to comply with U.S. laws. Any attempts to enter the United States illegally, falsify information for a visa, work without proper authorization, or overstay a visa will incur significant penalties.” The Embassy added.
It further explained that “We wish to emphasize that you do not need the services of a fixer or visa consultant to apply for a U.S. visa! This can be done directly through our official website at no extra cost. It is important to note that no fixer or consultant can guarantee a visa. Any such promises are deceptive and intended to defraud you”.
The notice comes on the back of recent reports suggesting that the Trump administration will in the coming days place a travel ban on Ghanaians from entering America as has been done to other countries since taking over the administration of America.
