Ghana’s Airports: Official fees, receipts and how to report extortion

A traveller may voluntarily decide to tip someone for a service, but that is different from an airport worker soliciting money from a passenger or asking for a personal payment to perform an official duty.

A recognised airport fee is different from an individual approaching a passenger and asking for money for themselves, particularly where the payment is linked to carrying out an official duty.

For ors arriving in Ghana and residents using the country's airports, knowing the official rules and charges can make it easier to distinguish between paying for a legitimate service and being asked for money you may not actually owe.
