Hello,

Congratulations!! Sorry to disturb you, we also just got PPR and are thinking of sending to Accra directly like you did.
Please which fees did you have to pay and how did you pay?

Did you have to pay package transmission fee because biometric was done at a different vfs?

I read on vfs site that fees have to be paid in CEDIS so how can we do this from Lagos?

Also the VFS consent form how did you fill page 3 and 4 asking about indirect submission and biometrics.

I’d really appreciate your assistance

We are having trouble paying for the fee for the PPR. My husband is in Nigeria, but we wish to send the package straight to the Accra VO. Is there any way I can pay it from Canada? And how would I get a receipt? Any pointers from anyone would be greatly appreciated.

Congratulations dear!!!!! So happy for you!!

I don't think you can pay from Canada, please check out this thread: https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/posts/9576355

"Payment can be made through any family or resident in Ghana but if you don't have anybody there, walk into any Ecobank in Nigeria and tell them you want to make payment into an Ecobank Ghana account. You will have to go with the USD equivalent of the amount and there are charges"

• As for the Consent Form, we left page 3 blank, and filled out Applicants wishing to provide biometrics (name, signature, and date) as he completed his biometrics at Accra VAC.

I hope this helps!!!

Please try the Ecobank app, it's reliable.

Hi @Ayo IB, I sent to Accra directly using DHL. I got someone to pay in Ghana cedis for VFS Accra. The person was in Ghana. If you can send directly, please do. It’s faster

Hi @Midepearls please what is the breakdown of the fees you paid to Accra VFS, not sure how much we will pay because biometrics was done in Lagos and I think we will need to pay transmission fee since we don’t want to use VFS lagos for passport

We paid 405Ghana cedis then from Ibadan I sent from to Accra was 31100 for DHL services. But as @Akissi18 said you can get more info online. Please if you need more information, you can private chat me. Trying to attach the screenshot of what we followed , I can seem to do that

 

[LeaAmbrose]

Thank you Akissi18! I will take the time to properly acknowledge once I have gotten the payment stress over with. This is getting difficult. Just went to two banks and spoke with my banks on the phone after my husband was unable to send the money via his bank in Nigeria. But I will use your suggestions, and get him to go straight to an Ecobank in Nigeria. Or check out that App, Penny.a.

If you know someone in Accra, they can help you. You just said the Naira equivalent or dollars equivalent. After payment is made. Let them just scan it and email it to you, you print it out and send it via DHL with the other documents
