I APPLIED FOR A US VISA IN ANSTERDAM. THERE IS NO WAITING AREA FOR APPLICANTS!! 9 months ago

Until you enter the building. Dont arrive too soon or too late. Since Alqaeda bombed the US Embassy in Nairobi killing over 200 applicants most Western Embassies have adopted this open space measure as a security precaution.

But which specific embassies and commissions is Corrupt Ablakwa making all the noise about?
Can`t he be more courageous and name names of them?

The baby with sharp teeth has suddenly lost his bite force. Useless statement that doesn’t put fear into any embassy. Next time you write such a useless statement to any embassy make sure you add your tenancy agreement.

Why do think you must get your money back? It costs them money to process your applications. Do you think the staff work for charity or Salvation Army? Some Ghanaians want everything for free, including free maternity care for the women they impregnated. Aaaaaba. Why? Cheap people. Take personal responsibility Kakra wai. Nkwaseasem.

Ablakwa wish he could treat the foreign embassies like he did to the National Cathedral but he is finding it very complicated to do so!

Somebody should sit this down and talk to him, foreign policy is dealt with differently from internal politics. Looking for praise internally on a small matter like this can course the nation dearly somewhere.

Improve the visa to Ghana process by cutting out the middle man, Ghana Embassies abroad, and let people apply for the visa online and receive their visas online, like Togo and Benin.

SA your suggestion is old school. That practice is being phased out all over the world. Every country is outsourcing this cumbersome method of visa acquisition. We must learn to move with the times. You don’t pay more for visas acquired this way and it takes away the burden from embassy staff. Again those who want premium services can pay a little extra for an expedited process. That way the government gets a share as well, on top of the fixed visa fees. What’s so difficult about this? Go back to school if you don’t understand wai. Nonsense.

There are no benefits in NDC honoring the foreign-sponsored coup leader, Kotoka!
You can name another airport after Afrifa. It won’t matter!
Ghana has no sovereignty under either NPP or NDC.
Only those who proudly follow their independent path and resist foreign interference will succeed.

Our own Embassy in the USA don't treat Ghanaians well when they go for passport renewal and visas,how then do we expect other Embassies to respect us.

Well done Okudzeto it's hard time the embassies treat the applicants with some dignity and respect who are have being using as "cashcows" over the years. It's very demeaning for a a college staff employed as a visa officer to treat nationals like rubbish. At least chairs should be provided for the applicants and limited nos of person's can be booked for a day to be attended to. I also hope the Foreign minster will order the embassies to refund the visa fees for these that are declined the visa since the fees are too expensive. Funny enough the amount required to proof ones's eligibility is also ridiculously high. Infact most of the visa Officer themselves have not been able to save tat amount of money for their life time YET they expect people from a so called developing country to provide that amount of money.
Finally, to the youth IF you are gainfully employed and have skill set stay in Ghana since money are not picked from the streets of the Western countries. Some person go through really hard times to survive and some of the citizens end up becoming "homeless| due to the harsh reality of life. A word to a wise is enough !

How dare this so called foreign minister criticise foreign embassies and consulates for visa queues?
The ndc government has ruled Ghana more than the rest of other parties combined.
Am not sure how many factories they’ve sold or collapsed. They should rather fix the economy, and infrastructural development in the country to deter the citizens from fleeing to other countries.
