Who this is for
- Remote workers and digital nomads planning a stay in Accra or elsewhere in Ghana
- African diaspora founders and returnees building businesses in West Africa
- Entrepreneurs who want a company entity connected to Ghana or West Africa

Accra is West Africa's most accessible digital nomad destination: a stable democracy, English-speaking, with a thriving tech and startup ecosystem centred around Cantonments, Labone, and the Airport Residential Area.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a visa to stay in Ghana as a digital nomad?
Most nationalities receive a visa on arrival or can obtain a Ghana e-Visa in advance, granting an initial 30-day stay. Extensions are available through the Ghana Immigration Service. Ghana does not yet have a dedicated digital nomad visa, but the e-Visa and multi-entry options give nomads practical long-stay pathways. We advise on the best option for your nationality and intended duration.
What is the tech and coworking scene like in Accra?
Accra has a fast-growing tech ecosystem with coworking spaces concentrated in Cantonments, Labone, and the Airport Residential Area. Notable hubs include iSpace, Impact Hub Accra, and several independent spaces. High-speed fibre is available in most commercial areas. The government's Ghana Beyond Aid and digitisation initiatives have accelerated startup activity significantly.
Can I form a 100% foreign-owned company in Ghana?
Ghana generally permits 100% foreign ownership of companies, though some sectors are reserved for Ghanaians or require Ghanaian partnership. A minimum paid-up capital of $500,000 USD is required for wholly foreign-owned trading companies; manufacturing and other sectors have lower thresholds. We assess the specific requirements for your industry during onboarding.
