hello nairalanders!!!!

No answers at all?

You will be passing through 3 country borders, namely Seme border, Lakonji border and Aflao border. I will take them one after the other. You will need your brown card (insurance), there are two types, comprehensive and 3rd party, your international drivers' license and the international vehicle license for the car. All these you can get from the first border except that you can not get a comprehensively insured brown card.
All the borders on both side will charge you off-the -books first entry charges, prices differs between cars and suvs, so you have to be a bit loaded especially with CFA's.

You will pay for the Laise passe at all these borders so you will have to get 3 nos. laise passe. at Seme(Nigeria-Benin), Lakonji(Benin-Lome) and Aflao(Lome-Ghana)borders. Make sure you follow whoever is proposing to help you out at the borders to the point where these documents are collected and cross-check it for the full details Chasis-nos of your car. Any little disparity could delay you for a long time with the gerdames or other security agencies within the town where you'd be traveling. In Ghana, make sure you are always renewing your laise-passe on the day of expiry while within the country.

I hope I have been able to help with my little information. I was in this situation in 2010 but no one was able to give me tangible help on nairaland. So this is from experience.

@elms.. Thank you very much for your contribution. But I will like to ask if you have estimates for the cost of everything. Please give as much detail as you can. I really appreciate that. And since you are talking from experience, please tell me about police reaction to Nigerian Licence Plates in Ghana.. coz I know Ghanaians have a thing with Nigerians.

Please other people can add their own contributions too... Thanks!
