Why this verdict

Ghanaian citizens normally need a Cyprus short-stay visa before travelling to Cyprus for ordinary tourism, family visits or short business trips. Cyprus is an EU member but is not yet in the Schengen area; a Schengen visa is not the same as a Cyprus visa unless an official Cyprus exemption applies.
