How to renew your Ghana passport in the UAE
Ghanaians in Dubai and the Northern Emirates use the consulate in Dubai, and those in Abu Dhabi use the embassy. Here is the process, and what to confirm before you pay.
The short answer
Ghanaians in Dubai and the Northern Emirates renew through the Consulate General in Dubai, and those in Abu Dhabi through the embassy. You apply and pay online, go in person for biometrics by appointment, and the passport is posted back. The last published fee, from March 2025, was AED 480 for 32 pages, so confirm the current fee by email first.

Which office to use
The Dubai consulate is open Monday to Thursday, 9am to 3pm, and Friday, 9am to 12 noon. The Abu Dhabi embassy's website was under maintenance when we checked on 17 October 2026, so if you live in Abu Dhabi and cannot reach the embassy, the Dubai consulate can tell you who to contact.
