Can you fly a drone to film or photograph in Ghana?
Every drone is registered with the Ghana Civil Aviation Authority, first in person at its office at Kotoka International Airport, and renewed yearly ($20 first time, $10 renewal for drones up to 7 kg). No drone may fly without a GCAA permit, and insurance is required.
