The US imposed visa restrictions on Ghana and other countries in July, limiting the affected countries to a maximum three-month single-entry visas and other limitations.

“In the specific case of Ghana, the Trump Administration said they were reacting to many years of visa overstays mainly by students”, Mr Ablakwa said.
