The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is urging all Embassies and High Commissions in Ghana to put in place appropriate and humane conditions at their Embassies.
According to the ministry, the move forms part of remedial measures to the numerous complaints by the public, on how Ghanaian citizens are treated when they visit Foreign Missions in Ghana for visa applications. "The complaints cover issues such as, not providing conducive waiting areas, non-availability of emergency services, long waiting times for appointment dates as well as challenges in using visa application websites".
To address these concerns, the Ministry in a statement to the press disclosed that it has dispatched an official communique to all Embassies and High Commissions urging them to put in place appropriate and humane conditions at their Embassies, High Commissions and visa centres.
The Ministry expects that Foreign Missions will respond positively and appropriately to the request.
