Why this verdict

Ghanaian citizens are marked as needing a permit/visa in the Israel Entry / Population and Immigration Authority country list for ordinary short visits. This destination-wave matrix record is intentionally conservative: special residence permits, diplomatic/service passports, work, study, overland border routes and airline transit checks can change the answer. Reconfirm on the official source before booking.
