How do u plan to relocate? School route? You have enough money to start business?

You cant relocate if u dont have these, dont even bother to go with visit visa and plan to run..lol

the best way to relocate is through school or marriage,if u have a southee girl,bring her here get married and file for spousal visa. If not forget about it.

Dont try it, if you over stay they will ban you and term you "UNDESIRABLE " . MEANING YOU CAN NEVER ENTER SOUTH AFRICA TILL YOU DIE AGAIN.
BUT BEFORE THEY CATCH U AND BAN U AND RETURN YOU TO NIGERIA, U WILL ALWAYS BE RUNINNG AWAY FROM POLICE, NO PEACE OF MIND, YOU CAN'T WORK OR WALK FREELY.

to be honest,work nor dey,except you have money to do business.
Best and easiest way to have document to stay there is to marry their citizen and you can get spousal visa which last two years and you can always renew it again and again.

Yes” you can even make more than a thousand Ghana Cedis per day in the City of Ghana call Accra, but the only job I would recommend for you is Cab(Taxi Driver). I would share more light later.. I am a little busy. Pls!

Transportation generally in Ghana is costly, and concerning the cab business, the lowest a cab/taxi drivers take is 20Ghs, which is 2k in naira, for example, if you’re living in circle and wanna go to Accra Mall by taxi, the cab man would charge you nothing less than 20Ghs which is the lowest... their a lot of Nigerian big boys living in Ghana and their only means of transportation mostly is cab and Ghanaian charge Nigerian boys living there much more than they’re follow Ghanaians. I once enter a cab from my house at greater accra to airport and I pay almost 40k, which is 400ghs, And if you wanna hit big time, let or try meet some Nigerians living there know you’re a Nigerian living there in Ghana and doing cab business in Ghana, they would collect ur contact or better still you collect there contact and you’re good to go. You won’t even be working everyday, cos they would pay you big time, sometimes, they would give you more than you even desire or think maybe charge, Mostly, always stay around Accra Mall or Spintex and Marina Mall, that’s where you would likely see most Nigerian or big Nigerian boys. Ghanaians cab/taxi drivers do charge Nigerian boys like mad. Some cab drivers won’t even take nothing less than 50ghs-100ghs =5000-10000 naira upwards for Nigerians boys.

Nigerians living there in Ghana don’t really like Ghanaians cab drivers but due to Nigerians guy’s don’t like doing the cab job when they travel to other African countries or Ghana. They have to stick to Ghanaians!!

So cab/taxi business in Ghana is a good business. Even the one they call trutru ( danfo) as well!!

Another business is barbing, in Ghana the lowest they would take for barbing is 5ghs=500naira and is only Ghanaians do take this amount. Cos they don’t know how to cut hair as Nigerian does, as for me personally, I never allow them cut my hair, never, the Nigerian boy who use to cut my hair take lowest of 10ghs= 1000 naira!! And if dying of hair join, nah from 30ghs upward.=3000 naira depends on the dying shaa oo!

Most of all, stay legally and avoid the bad Nigerian boys living there and you’re good to go..you can stay 3 month for free and if your 3 month expire, leave Accra to Lagos and re-enter again and got stamp another 3 months....but when doing so, leave ur cab/taxi in ur Ghana compound and don’t tell ur neighbors knows you’re traveling so they won’t know ur moments and think you’re still around but didn’t go to work, but in your mind you know the level. Wisdom apply here, Cos they’re somehow jealous of Nigerians and Why leaving ur taxi in Ghana compound is cos you don’t have Ghana resident permit or business permit and I think doing business on free 90 days visa is illegal.

At the same time if not for my persuade of another country, that make me leave Ghana without thinking, I once meet an old Ghanaian woman who owes churches, she was fela dance and she even show us pictures and videos of her and fela in USA,even tell us Nigerian history small, as well our great fela, her kids base USA and she do travel a lot too. She wanted to help me get resident permit and probably do Ghana passport but i later leave without telling her or thinking about future due to am looking for USA visa, regretting till date though life goes on. Why saying this, I would have tell you the process of getting Ghana residents permit but i didn’t get mine so i don’t know the process but let other people share more light on that so you won’t be stamping all the time!!

NB: after the 90 days free visa stay in Ghana. Each passing day is 5ghs...

Avoid bad Nigerians and trouble in Ghana generally, Ghanaians love themselves so much ooo, even if their follow Ghanaians find your trouble let go brother, cos they would surely support their Ghanaians person, e better make you enter jail in Nigerian than enter Ghana police cell. Underground. Abeg you.
