The Pilgrims Affairs Office of Ghana (PAOG), also known as the Ghana Hajj Board, has announced GH¢60,000 as the official fare for the 2027 Hajj pilgrimage.
The fare remains unchanged from the GH¢60,000 charged for the 2026 Hajj.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, August 12, 2026, PAOG said payment for the 2027 pilgrimage had begun and would be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis until Ghana’s allocated Hajj quota is exhausted.
Chairman of PAOG, also known as the Ghana Hajj Board, Alhaji Abdul-Rauf Tanko Ibrahim, urged intending pilgrims to complete their payments and submit the required documentation early to avoid last-minute difficulties.
“All payments must be made through the approved channels only,” PAOG said, warning that it would not be responsible for payments made through unauthorised channels.
The approved payment options are through accredited Hajj agents using the official PAOG payment code or by direct payment to PAOG through its official GCB Bank accounts.
PAOG also cautioned prospective pilgrims against dealing with unaccredited agents or intermediaries because of the risk of fraud.
The office said the precaution was intended to protect intending pilgrims and ensure a transparent registration and payment process.
PAOG said it remained committed to ensuring a “safe, transparent, and successful Hajj” for Ghanaian pilgrims while building on the gains recorded during the 2026 pilgrimage.
Registration will close once Ghana’s allocated quota for the 2027 Hajj is exhausted.
