The United States Embassy in Ghana has cautioned Ghanaians against applying for visas through middle men, commonly known as ‘connection men’.
In a post shared on social media on June 17, 2025, the embassy said that there is no need for Ghanaians to apply for visas through ‘connection men’ because it does not guarantee visa approval.
It urged Ghanaians to apply for their visas directly, adding that applying for visas directly will not attract an additional cost as in the case of using middlemen.
“We wish to emphasise that you do not need the services of a fixer or visa consultant to apply for or get a US visa!
“This can be done directly through our official website at no extra cost. It is important to note that no fixer or consultant can guarantee a visa. Any such promises are deceptive and intended to defraud you,” the embassy said.
It went on to admonish Ghanaians to avoid using falsified documents when applying for a visa.
“We remain committed to welcoming visitors from Ghana who wish to study, invest, or engage in business activities in the United States. It is essential for all applicants to comply with US laws. Any attempts to enter the United States illegally, falsify information for a visa, work without proper authorisation, or overstay a visa will incur significant penalties,” it added.
