Ghanaian in South Korea Faces Deportation After Alleged Visa Fraud, Seeks Legal Help
A Ghanaian national identified as Kwabena is facing possible deportation from South Korea following complications surrounding his travel documents and visa status.
Kwabena, who travelled abroad in January 2025, claims he was misled by a connection man who promised to facilitate his travel despite him having no prior travel history. According to him, the agent initially attempted to secure an Indian visa and later processed what was presented as a Canadian visa for a fee of $1,000.
However, upon arrival in South Korea, immigration authorities reportedly discovered irregularities in his passport, including visa stamps that raised suspicion. During questioning, officials reportedly questioned how he obtained such visas despite having no travel record.
Kwabena alleged that his passport was seized for about a week during investigations, after which he was informed he could face deportation. He further claimed that he was later asked to pay a fine of approximately GH¢50,000 as part of the process.
He insists he was unaware that the documents and stamps arranged by the agent were not genuine until he arrived abroad.
Despite the situation, Kwabena says he is seeking the services of an immigration lawyer to file an appeal in an attempt to avoid deportation and regularise his stay.
“I don’t want to return to Ghana. I need legal help to appeal the case,” he stated.
His story highlights ongoing concerns about visa fraud and the risks associated with using unverified travel agents, as many individuals continue to fall victim to such schemes in their quest to seek opportunities abroad.
