Foreign vehicles entering Ghana must obtain a temporary importation permit, known as a "laissez-passer" or C59, from the Customs Division at the border. This permit is typically valid for 30 days. If it expires, drivers must return with the vehicle to the point of entry for renewal. The permit may be granted for up to 90 days on subsequent entries.
