The United States Embassy in Ghana has issued a strong caution to all U.S. visa holders, urging them to adhere strictly to American laws or risk facing serious consequences including visa revocation, deportation, or permanent travel ineligibility.
In a statement posted on the embassy’s official Facebook page, officials stressed: “Breaking U.S. laws can have serious consequences for your visa.”
The message added: “If you are arrested or violate any laws, your visa may be revoked, you may be deported, and you could be ineligible for future U.S. visas.”
The warning comes at a time the US has intensified efforts to curb visa violations and ensure compliance among foreign nationals.
The Embassy further advised visa applicants and holders to familiarise themselves with US immigration policies and laws, noting that even minor infractions can result in long-term consequences for those seeking to live, work, or study in the US.
“Follow the rules and don’t jeopardise your travel. A U.S. visa is a privilege, not a right.”
