How To Move to Ghana: What You Need to Know

What’s the first thing you need to do before moving to Ghana? Pack your bags! But before you start packing, there are a few things you should know about.

Ghana is gorgeous and not as difficult to move to as one would think. However, there are certain parts of the country that are much easier for foreigners to live in than others. This blog will tell you all you need to know about living in Ghana so that your transition is smooth. Get ready and pack up your bags!

 

What you need to know before moving to Ghana

Some things you should know before moving to Ghana are the cost of living, what the climate is like, and how easy it is to get around. Below are some other details you'll need to know before making your move.

-The cost of living in Ghana is fairly cheap. You can rent a 1 bedroom apartment for $1350, or an entire house for $2500. The food there is also inexpensive and delicious!

-Ghana's climate is typical - there's hot mornings, cool afternoons, and moderate nights. It rains a lot during the rainy season though!

-Ghana has a well established transportation system so you'll get around easily. There are buses that run on schedules and taxis that range from dirt cheap to more expensive depending on how far you're going. If you want to take the bus from Accra to Kumasi, the fare will be about $1 per person one way with no bus change required!

 

The best places to live in Ghana

The best place to live in Ghana is Accra. It’s the capital city, so there are more amenities and resources here than in other parts of the country. Living in Accra will make it easier for you to find a job, learn about your surroundings, and generally adjust to life in Ghana.

If you need a break from the bustle of Accra, you can move on to Tema or Takoradi. These two cities are a little less developed than Accra, but they still have all of the fundamental necessities for living. You’ll still be able to get groceries and other necessities without too much trouble.

Sekondi-Takoradi is another option if you want to live somewhere less developed for now. This area may not have as many amenities as some of the other areas, but it’s still a good place to live while you’re learning about Ghanaian culture and while you figure out your plans for the future.

 

Things to know about living Ghana

Before you move to Ghana, there are a few things you should know.

First of all, the country is huge. There’s more than one region to live in. The best part is that some regions are easier for foreigners to live in than others.

The second thing you need to know is that while it’s beautiful, the country and its people will seem very different from what you’re used to.

Ghanaians typically eat three meals a day with breakfast being the most substantial meal of the day. They also sleep on traditional beds with thin mattresses called pallets. These bits of information may help ease your mind about moving there!

 

How to find a job in Ghana

Finding a job in Ghana is not as difficult as it might seem. You will need to assess your skill set once you arrive, but there are a number of options for expats to find work in Ghana.

Many people who move to Ghana end up working for an international company because these companies often offer the best salaries and working conditions. There are also opportunities for those who have experience in education or healthcare, which are areas of the country with a shortage of qualified professionals.

There are many ways to find jobs in Ghana. You can start by checking out job listing sites like CareerBuilder.com. There are also large outdoor markets where employers go looking for employees, so that’s another place to check out when looking for work.

 

How to buy property in Ghana

One thing you need to know before moving to Ghana is how to buy property in Ghana. It’s important to understand that not all cities are the same. In Accra, for example, foreigners can purchase property for 100% of its assessed value once they have a NRC (National Registration Certificate). However, other countries may not be the same. For example, when living in Sekondi-Takoradi, foreigners cannot purchase property unless they’re married to Ghanaian nationals.

If you want to make your transition easier, it's important that you learn about how real estate purchases work in the country before you move there. This will help you determine where you want to live and what type of property you want to buy while making your move as easy as possible.
