Good initiative! NIA need not be apologetic about this because the issuing of IDs for foreign nationals is normal in most countries around the world. Call those cards permesso di sogiorno, Green Card, Residence permit or whatever, the bottomline is the same: foreigners are registered and have to pay regularly to renew their cards.

Register foreign nationals?Does that includes Nigerians?We are dead.THis should not be allowed!On the other hand,if its only mere registration and no Ghanaian ID issued,no problem.

Xenophobic,offensive and exotic price.Foreigners,especially, those coming from the west and North America have been slugged hefty visa fees to enter our country, and are again going to be handed an unreasonable $120 fee for being in Ghana. What is the fee for a short term resident or visitor?
This thing will open up another fertile ground for corrupt officials who would issue documents that will have no recognition a metre from where it is issued!

If the government needs money, they should think of better ways to generate income rather than target foreigners. What happened to the gold and oil and cocoa ?
what is the need for the immigration database if they cant tell who is a foreigner in Ghana and who is not?
When a foreigner is in Ghana, he is given a stay in Ghana via the immigration on their passport.
If he or she stays beyond the period, they pay for overstay.
If they want to reside longer due to education o business, they pay for residence permit, which is recorded in the immigration database.
What then is the card for? when their details are in the database?
If they want to know the number of foreigners in the country, they should make use of the immigration database like every other country does.
I don't think the UK, US or other countries issue national ID card to foreigners.

If Ghanaians don't have birth certificates, ID, addresses etc how would the gov't know who is a Ghanaian and who is not. This does not make any sense.

Thank you very much. Ghanaian policy makers will not cease to amaze me: To them, ANYBODY who'd find him/herself in Ghana irrespective of his immigration status and security risk issue, is a Permanent Resident and MUST be allowed to register, because they have imported a machine that can register them anyway!!
