About us

The Ghana Immigration Service (GIS) started as the Immigration and Passport Unit of the Gold Coast Colonial Police Force under the command of Mr. Neville C. Hill, a British national. The Service had earlier on operated alongside Customs in the Customs Long Room at James Town where the old harbour is situated. The political status and economic circumstances of the time were such that it handled very minimal human traffic.

In May 1960, there was a Cabinet decision to transfer the Immigration Unit to the Ministry of the Interior as a department.
