Most countries require visas from citizens of poorer nations, but Japanese citizens rarely need a visa.

Most Japanese go back home after their visits, and hardly overstayed their visas.

If we stopped robbing Ghana (Which we have practically been doing for the past 65 years) we could build a country we don't have to leave, to slave in other people's countries.

Imagine, Ghanaians are in the majority very unruly, extremely undisciplined and lawless. But they respect all the laws in the West. Once the arrive at Kotoka, they pick it up once again.

Had the Judiciary and Law Enforcement (Which have to a very large extend been complicit in the criminal behavior and indiscipline) been ruthless and stringent in the application of the laws, we'd have had a good country.

Come to think of it: Why do you need to stay in someone else's country when you have everything going on smoothly in your own country? You even don't know much about your own country, which you could plan visiting when you could. See?

@Spear, you have a point, sadly, what sticks in the throat is a criminal without an ounce of intergrity such as Donald Trump demanding one makes it hard to swallow.

Nothing wrong with this..every country in this world now wants to put their country and citizens first..I wrote it on this platform that it’s about time Ghanaians need to have integrity other than pursuing wealth and riches all the time..if u are given students visa to go and study in the USA, Uk or etc..why after u are done with your studies, u don’t want to come back? u know dammn very well that your visa states that students visa, so why do u want to overstay? Well since the USA govt has seen that it has become a pattern for most Africans especially Ghanaians, they need to develop a strategy to combat this menace..without integrity, Ghana as a country will never develop..u went there to study, so when u are done with your studies, why don’t u want to come back home?africans always destroying every rule that’s set for him..

African leaders should kindly build our economy so we can stay at home.
Being at.home working and have a good salary that can take care of yourself and your family and put down something small for other things, is better going to outside this country to work.
But bcs most of our leaders are vampires and luck sympathy for they're people that's why a lot always wanted to travel outside this country
And easy outside this country but bcs our economy is bad that's why most wanted to go outside to work for better future.

seriously why would anyone in the right mind anticipate that this will be used to improve consular services. Who cares if you have to queue in the sun to be denied your visa. It is to enrich the US government and nothing else. Of course people will pay up even if it increases to $10,000
