Dutch Ambassador to Ghana, Jeroen Verheul, has revealed that the overwhelming majority of Ghanaians who reach out to him do so to seek assistance with visa applications rather than raise concerns about the visa process itself. "If I'm approached by a Ghanaian, it's mostly about visa issues, and it's mostly because they want to have my support for a visa application.
That is mostly what is happening," he said on Joy News' PM Express on Wednesday, February 26.
His comments come amid growing concerns over high visa rejection rates and alleged mistreatment of Ghanaian applicants by embassies and third-party service providers such as VFS Global.
Ghana has been ranked among the top 10 African countries with the highest Schengen visa rejections, with a reported rejection rate of 42%.
