Foreign Affairs Ministry investigates issuance of Ghanaian passports to foreigners

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integrations has said it is investigating an allegation that foreign nationals residing in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and other Gulf States are holding Ghanaian passports.

In a statement on Friday (12 August), the Foreign Affairs Ministry said, “the Ministry is investigating the said allegation and would take appropriate measures to deal with the situation if found to be true.”

It is worth emphasizing that with the current biometric passports being issued by the Passport Office, applicants undergo rigorous vetting process which make it difficult for unqualified persons, notably foreigners to acquire Ghanaian passports,” the statement added.
