Dear all,

Please can you help, I am Ghanaian living in UK for over 12 years and have a Ghana passport. I applied last year for British Citizenship and now have a British passport.
I now want to travel back to Ghana for 2 weeks next month, I know this may seem a silly question but do I use my Ghana passport for traveling out of UK to Ghana and my British passport traveling back from Ghana to UK? I guess I dont need any visas or permits?

Thank you in advance
Helen

Do you still have a valid Ghanian passport? If so, use that. If not, I wouldn't know, this query may be best placed in the other countries subforum. You may find this information helpful https://gis.gov.gh/visa_permits.html

As Ghana and the UK both allow dual citizenship, yes, you can just use your Ghanian passport to enter Ghana and your UK one to return to the UK.
