Gov’t recalls diplomatic and service passports. |
The
Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration has issued a final
reminder to individuals still in possession of Diplomatic and Service Passports
issued during the previous administration to return them by 17 March 2025.
This
directive follows a previous announcement by the Ministry, dated 15 January
2025, and stems from an order by the Office of the President to review and
retrieve all such passports no longer valid under current government
requirements.
So far, 404
Diplomatic Passports and 387 Service Passports remain unreturned, despite
earlier notices.
The
Ministry is calling on all individuals listed below to surrender their
passports to the Legal and Treaties Bureau at the Ministry without delay:
•
Former Ministers and their spouses
• Former Members of Parliament from all political parties
• Former Council of State members and their spouses
• Retired Justices of the Superior and Lower Courts
• Former Regional Ministers, MMDCEs, board chairs and members of state
institutions
• Officials of the National Cathedral Project
• Former political ambassadors and their dependents
• Businessmen and entrepreneurs
• Former government functionaries
• Any person holding an official passport but not currently serving the state
The
Ministry has warned that any passports not returned by the deadline will be
cancelled and added to the Stop-Watch List, making them subject to immediate
seizure at all entry and exit points in Ghana.
