Is there a late enrollment or custom payment schedule policy?

Enrollment may remain open after the published payment schedule has begun, subject to availability.

Guests who enroll after the start of the published payment schedule are required to submit the standard non-refundable initial deposit at the time of enrollment to secure their spot.

Upon receipt of the deposit, a customized payment schedule will be issued for the remaining balance. Payment timelines may be compressed based on the enrollment date. All remaining balances must be paid in full no later than ninety (90) days prior to the tour departure date, in accordance with the Ghana Homecoming Terms & Conditions.

Installment payments are due on the 15th of each month, unless otherwise stated in writing.

Payments made by credit or debit card are subject to a 2.9% + $0.30 non-refundable processing fee per transaction. ACH/bank transfer is available with no processing fee, where offered.

All payments are non-refundable. Full terms apply and are outlined in the Ghana Homecoming Terms & Conditions.

Is there optional travel liaison support?

For guests who would like personalized assistance with flight selection, we offer Travel Liaison Support for an additional $200 USD per guest.

This optional concierge-style service is designed to provide clarity and confidence during the flight selection process and includes:

• Review of proposed flight options
• Guidance to ensure arrival within the group’s designated travel window
• Alignment with scheduled airport transfers in Accra
• Support in selecting flights that best accommodate the guest’s preferred booking method (points, benefits, or financing)

Please note: Travel Liaison Support does not include booking airfare on the guest’s behalf. Guests remain responsible for purchasing their own flights.

What are the health and entry requirements for Ghana?

As of the most recent guidance from Ghanaian authorities, COVID-19–related entry requirements have been lifted. Travelers entering Ghana are not required to:

• Provide proof of COVID-19 vaccination
• Present a negative COVID-19 test result

Mask mandates at airports and during flights have also been lifted, and standard entry regulations apply.

Yellow Fever Vaccination (Required)

Ghana requires proof of Yellow Fever vaccination for entry. Travelers must present a valid International Certificate of Vaccination (Yellow Card) upon arrival.

Guests who are medically unable to receive the Yellow Fever vaccine must obtain a physician-signed medical exemption and travel with this documentation in place of the Yellow Fever certificate. Failure to present either the valid Yellow Fever certificate or approved medical exemption documentation may result in denial of boarding or entry.

Guests are encouraged to obtain the Yellow Fever vaccination well in advance of travel, as availability may be limited and the certificate becomes valid 10 days after vaccination.

Guest Responsibility & Monitoring

Guests are responsible for ensuring compliance with all immigration and health requirements in effect at the time of travel. Requirements may change at any time based on guidance from Ghanaian authorities and airlines.

We recommend monitoring guidance from:

• Ghana Immigration Service
• Kotoka International Airport
• Your airline and local travel clinic

Ghana Homecoming will share updates when feasible; however, guests remain responsible for meeting all entry requirements. Ghana Homecoming is not responsible for denial of boarding or entry due to non-compliance with travel requirements.
