A Health Declaration Form is a document that travelers must fill out and submit before arriving in Ghana.

The Health Declaration Form is available online, and travelers are required to complete and submit it at least 24 hours before departure.

The purpose of the Health Declaration Form is to help the Ghanaian authorities identify and isolate individuals who may be at risk of spreading Covid-19, and to ensure that appropriate measures are taken to prevent the spread of the virus in the country. It is important to note that the Health Declaration Form is mandatory for all travelers entering Ghana, and failure to submit the form may result in denied entry or other penalties.
