IMPACT – MEDIUM
The Ghana Immigration Service (GIS) has extended the scope of its mandatory medical examination requirement to all immigration permit applicants.
Key Points:
Background: Previously, only applicants for new work and residence permits were required to undergo mandatory medical examination at the GIS Clinic.
Analysis & Comments: These new measures will affect all categories of applications for immigration permits, including renewal applications. Because this will be an additional step for renewal applications, employers should account for this change and schedule medical appointments at the GIS clinic for principal applicants of work/residence permit applications accordingly.
