Default Anyone have a recent UK version of the Ghana Visa application form?

I find it rather annoying that US and Canadian versions of the form can be
downloaded for free from the respective websites, yet UK citizens are
expected to ring a premium rate line for up to 3 minutes in order to get
access to the form. This on top of the visa cost.

Yep, they don't call us rip-off Britain for nothing

So, does anyone have a recent UK version of the form? I've had a quick
Google and the forms I've found have the old consular address

Best Wishes

Hmm... Looks like I've almost been had! Doh!

Something bothered me about the whole thing and I decided to go the Ghana
High Commission link via a link on the UK foreign office website.

It appears that the website I been to (http://ghana.embassyhomepage.com/) is
not the official website of the Ghana High commission. The website is at the
top of the Google search list, and the homepage is clever worded to give the
misleading impression that it is the official Ghana High commission website.
The link to the Visa Application form invites you to ring a premium rate
number to obtain the form. Sneaky!

*Blush* I'm getting old. I'm used to the 4019 scams and similar on Ebay but
I almost got taken in by this one. A large portion of the content on the
website is copied directly from the official site.

The official UK Ghana High Commission website is located at:
