The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has announced a reduction in the passport application fee, bringing it down from GH\u20b5500 to GH\u20b5350.<\/p>\n

This new fee represents a 30% decrease.<\/p>\n

The new fee structure will come into effect on Thursday, November 13, 2025.<\/p>\n

The move is aimed at making passport acquisition more affordable for Ghanaians, in line with government efforts to ease the cost of essential services.<\/p>\n

The revised fee applies to all new passport applications, while those renewing existing passports will also benefit from the reduction.<\/p>\n
