Thread for Acrra Ghana applicants

[Midepearls]

Hey @Midepearls did you send your passport to Accra directly without using VFS Lagos or Abuja?
Did you use DHL?
How did you pay the Ghana Cedis for VFS Accra?

Sorry for my many questions. Please I need help.

Thank you!

Hi @Ayo IB, I sent to Accra directly using DHL. I got someone to pay in Ghana cedis for VFS Accra. The person was in Ghana. If you can send directly, please do. It’s faster

Thank you! @Midepearls God will bless you!

I am so happy to hear this. Please I have more questions *covers face

How will you get it back?

Will Vfs Accra notify you and then you will use DHL to pick up?

Or is it IRCC Ghana that will notify you?

What did you put in the consent form? I mean the Consent for Indirect Submission...did you put DHL?

What did you fill in biometrics part?

I'm so sorry i'm bothering you with my many questions.

Thank you so much.

Has anyone who submitted passport ( to Abuja or Lagos) in the last week of July received any indication that the passport has left Nigeria?

I don’t know how it will get back yet...
But in the information, when I paid the Ghana cedis, they said they will send it back.
I’ll let you know as it goes

I actually just got a notification from vfs that they will send it to the Canada visa application center I applied from or the courier company I aubthorized.

I didn’t put anything in the indirect submission though.
The biometrics part, the column for Principal applicant only should be filled. ( do you mean the height, color and stuff) if so .. I filled only for Principal applicant as stated above.

I hope that answers your questions.
But I haven’t come here to say my mode of submission because I haven’t gotten my passport back. Once I get it which should be this week...
I will let you know how it went too

Thank you soo much! I was referring to the biometrics part in the VFS Consent Form.

We are having trouble paying for the fee for the PPR. My husband is in Nigeria, but we wish to send the package straight to the Accra VO. Is there any way I can pay it from Canada? And how would I get a receipt? Any pointers from anyone would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,

Congratulations!! Sorry to disturb you, we also just got PPR and are thinking of sending to Accra directly like you did.
Please which fees did you have to pay and how did you pay?

Did you have to pay package transmission fee because biometric was done at a different vfs?

I read on vfs site that fees have to be paid in CEDIS so how can we do this from Lagos?

Also the VFS consent form how did you fill page 3 and 4 asking about indirect submission and biometrics.

I’d really appreciate your assistance

Congratulations dear!!!!! So happy for you!!

I don't think you can pay from Canada, please check out this thread: https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/posts/9576355

"Payment can be made through any family or resident in Ghana but if you don't have anybody there, walk into any Ecobank in Nigeria and tell them you want to make payment into an Ecobank Ghana account. You will have to go with the USD equivalent of the amount and there are charges"
