Ghana Introduces New Travel Requirement for All Passengers From November 12

According to a report by TV3 Ghana on Saturday, November 7, 2026, the Ghana Health Service (GHS) has announced a new health requirement for all passengers travelling to Ghana, which will take effect from Thursday, November 12, 2026.

Under the new directive, all passengers travelling to Ghana will be required to complete a Health Declaration Form before embarking on their journey. The announcement is expected to affect passengers travelling to the country from different parts of the world.

The new requirement forms part of measures being introduced by the Ghana Health Service to strengthen the country’s health monitoring and surveillance systems. It is also intended to help health authorities obtain important health information from travellers before they arrive in Ghana.

By requiring passengers to complete the form before departure, the Ghana Health Service will be better positioned to identify possible health concerns and take the necessary steps to protect the public.

The directive means that travellers will have to make the completion of the Health Declaration Form part of their travel preparations. Passengers are therefore expected to take note of the November 12 commencement date and ensure that they meet the requirement before boarding their flights to Ghana.

The announcement also serves as an important reminder to international travellers to pay attention to health-related travel requirements issued by Ghanaian authorities.

Although the directive is expected to introduce an additional step into the travel process, its main objective is to support public health protection and improve the country’s preparedness in dealing with potential health threats.

The Ghana Health Service is therefore urging all passengers planning to travel to Ghana to take note of the new arrangement and comply with the directive when it comes into effect on November 12, 2026.
