No more filling of embarkation and disembarkation cards- Ghana Immigration Service
The Ghana Immigration Service (GIS) has announced that it will no longer require the filling of embarkation and disembarkation cards by travellers at the Kotoka International Airport.
According to the GIS, the new directive is in line with the government’s digitalisation agenda.
