Hello All,

I am coming for an assignement for Ghana for 2 years and my company is handling the Ghanaian Business Visitor Visa + Ghanaian Work Permit + Ghanaian Residence Permit.

I will be coming with my partner but unfortunately since we are not married , despite having been together for 7 years, my company will not be supporting her with the VISA process.

Having dome research online this is the strategy I think would be best for having her coming with me:

-apply for the Mutiple Entry Visa (2 Years)and although each validity is for 60 days, then i understand it's possible to renew from inside for 2 months extensions at a cost of £5 per month. Is there a limit in the number of the renewals requested from inside the country??
-while she in Ghana with me (both staying in the same accomodation)apply for a spousal VISA - although we are not married we have proofs of having lived together for 2 years and having been together for 7 years.

I would really appreciate your thoughts on the above.

thanks a lot, see you soon!

thanks for your reply..

Can you confim if we enter with the tourist visa Mutiple Entry Visa (2 Years) whether she can renew it after the first 2 months, for just $5 per month like described in this site
(http://www.volunteerteachenglish.co.uk/visa.html)

is there any limit in the number of renewals she can make? she plans to go back to europe once every 4 months (3 times per year).

thanks!

I can't confirm that sorry, I can only tell you what I did. I came in on a 3 months visitors visa and then when I arrived I applied for a spousal visa and got that for one year multiple entry and have renewed it annually. I don't pay per month it was just the fee for about GhC 50 for the year.

I too will be joining my husband in Ghana who will get a work permit through his company. When he worked in Zambia, my passport was endorsed with my husband's work permit details so that I could live there for the duration,(although I couldn't work). I could enter and exit at will and never had a problem at immigration. I assumed it would be the same for Ghana. Can anyone shed any light on this?

Yes, it will be the same for Ghana if you are a spouse. The problem the writer had was he and his partner are not married.

If your partner plans to go to the UK every 4 months, then you dont have to worry about a thing....She is good. You do not need a spousal visa. If it becomes necessary to renew her visa for any reason, just go to the immigration office and you will be taken care of.
