Cash to move in

Six months of rent up front, plus a deposit, temporary housing, furniture, backup power, visa and legal costs, a tax consult, insurance, and SIM cards. Flights and an emergency fund are not included.

Planning estimates built from the Sovereign Sundays Ghana research brief, October 20, 2026. Rents are scouting allowances for a two-bedroom, not measured averages. Accra listings are asking prices from Ghana Property Centre. Budgets exclude income taxes, a car, school fees, and major medical treatment. The exchange rate is a mid-market rate; banks and money apps will give you less.
