The 60-second version
Ghana exit needs employer PAYE certificate and GRA compliance letter. I export SSNIT statements, close GHS/USD account, wire to NRE, and map RNOR for retained holdings.
GRA PAYE certificate and residence permit cancel in parallel
Ghana taxes residents on worldwide income — I obtain employer PAYE reconciliation and confirm GRA TIN has no open assessments.
Work permit / residence permit cancel through employer; retain GIS exit documentation for India ITR overlap year.
SSNIT member statement export even if lump-sum not yet paid — needed for Form 67 and benefit claims.
