Courier Service Registration

[AKT 3]

Hello All,

Please I want to find out when do you register for courier service? Is it prior to the interview or after the interview?

Secondly, how do you register? Also, can anyone recommend any courier service provider…

 

Thanks..

If your interview goes well, the interviewer will give you a piece of paper with an email address to DHL. You will email DHL with your information: name, passport number, and case number. They will then email you back confirming your information and inform you that you need to pay a fee before they (DHL) will pick it up from the embassy. The DHL fee to pick up at their office in Accra is 52 GHC and 87 GHC for Kumasi, Tema, Takoradi and Tamale. They will email you when your visa is ready and you are responsible for picking it up from the DHL office. 

 

A word of caution, I thought once our application said "Issued" in CEAC it would only be a couple of days until we received the visa. However, on CEAC its states that it will be 5-10 business days from the time it was "Issued" for the visa to be ready for pickup. I went ahead and bought the plane ticket once I saw the application status as "issued." It would have been cutting it a little close if it would have taken the full 10 business days to receive the visa. My fiancé received his visa in 5 business days after it was issued.

 

Also this is the current process for k-1 visas, I assume that is similar for other visa types but I could be wrong.
