The proper spelling of the name is Dzorwulu. It is a nice area to live and not far at all from the airport. I am very sure you will like Dzorwulu. Read More

If your partner plans to go to the UK every 4 months, then you dont have to worry about a thing....She is good. You do not need a spousal visa. If it becomes necessary to renew her visa for any reason, just go to the immigration office and you will ... Read More

What cards do ATMs in Accra accept? by Anouk__________

Dear all, I read that a lot of ATMs in Accra do not accept Maestro cards. What is your experience? Which banks do accept Maestro cards? Would you suggest to acquire a Master or Visa card, just to be sure? Thanks in advance for your advice! Best, ...

Ruskin

I use the ATM at Barclays, Ghana Commercial Bank, Stanbic, and UT Bank for my MasterCard and never had a problem. I think Maestro is a MasterCard product, look at the back of the card, if it has cirrus on it then you are good. Read More

Look for Shipping agents in London who specializes in shipping goods to Ghana. These days people can ship items with estimated custom duty included. The shippers agent in Ghana will contact you by phone for pickup at the agent's office when your ... Read More

I was born in Ghana and have lived in the US for almost 20 years. Ghana is not a cheap place to live unless you can tolerate Ghanaian food, dont mind eating home a lot and wouldn't mind to take the local transportation. Good luck to you! Read More

Option 1 might take you into the red, meaning you will spend more than you make. You will live from paycheck to paycheck with no extra money to save. Option 2 if you plan carefully, for example eat at home often,make fewer phone call abroad, and use ... Read More

Just like any country elsewhere in the world, besides having a visa, you need to have a work permit to be able to get a job in Ghana. While Ghana welcomes foreigners with no much restrictions, you must follow the immigration requirements. You can ... Read More

If you want to own a gun in Ghana, the first thing is to go to the Ghana Police Headquarters to apply for a permit to bring the gun into the country. Besides being illegal to own a gun without a permit no matter what type it is, thinking of selling ... Read More

Looking for names and websites of construction companies in Ghana is going to be far-fetched. I suggest you establish your business and use the radio and TV stations to sell your business. Good luck and be extremely careful when dealing with people ... Read More
