No! This is the single biggest advantage of our eSIM. Due to Ghana's strict laws, buying a local physical SIM card at Accra (ACC) airport requires a mandatory, slow, and complicated biometric registration process (linking to a Ghana Card, which tourists don't have). CheapESIM eSIMs are roaming-based, which means you are exempt from this bureaucracy. You can buy online, install instantly, and skip the registration queues and hassle.
