Residence permits in Ghana

Dual citizenship

Ghanaian law allows for dual citizenship. This means that a Ghanaian can hold the citizenship of any other country and remain a Ghanaian. However, a person with dual citizenship cannot hold certain public positions and cannot be a deputy or speaker of the parliament. The Supreme Court of Ghana has given reasons that people with dual citizenship cannot hold public office due to conflict of interest, national security and state loyalty to Ghana and confidentiality.

Citizenship can be obtained in Ghana by birth or later through naturalization.
