I have fallen in love with a girl from Ghana and she wants to come to U.K. and marry me, but she has told me she needs 拢500 to pay for this pass-port. Is that true, does a Ghanain Pass-Port cost 拢500.?

A quick Google search found the following for new passport applications

Standard聽 110 pounds
3 day聽聽聽聽聽200 pounds
1 day聽聽聽聽聽240 pounds聽

I suggest that you contact the relevant Ghanian govt department for information and costs.

Even that sounds a lot for a Ghanaian passport. My husband renewed his recently and paid 50 cedis for the form and then another 50-100 cedis for the passport when he picked it up
Not sure about the motorbike licence but one for a car is around 100 cedis so a motorbike is probably less

I also hope you realise how difficult it will be to get your new wife to the UK. I suggest you look on the government website and see the requirements for bringing in a spouse.
There are a lot of scams with regard to Ghanaian men/women on the internet. My advice would be to actually take a trip to Ghana yourself and meet the lady and then take it from there. If you just keep sending money it could be disappearing into a very big hole!

I have to agree with hkaan.
You may well be taken advantage of.

I am visitor to expat-blog and wish to say with emphasis that Passport application doesn't cost 拢500. There are two forms costing 50 and 100cedis. The latter for urgent service. If anyone requestfor any additional fee, consider it a scam.
I however support other comments suggesting our brother in the UK visit Ghana to familiarise with his new found love. And please meet her in the presence of a known fellow in Ghana. We are here to assist.

This is a joke right?! Firstly, beware who you have "fallen in love with". If it is indeed 100% true, it is not as simple as that! Will she be able to get a passport? If she gets one, how will she come to UK with you? One cannot just move to the UK from Ghana! Ever think about visas etc etc? I think you need to be very careful here that you are not falling for a scam my friend...!
