Drone / airspace
The GCAA requires in-person drone registration at the airport plus an operating permit, capped at 400ft and barred within 10km of an airport
For category detail, see Drone Authority.
Street / public space
Yes, generally tolerated, with a constitutional privacy right; seek consent before photographing identifiable individuals, especially anyone in uniform
No dedicated image-rights statute, but consent is best practice for commercial publication.
Freedom of panorama
Restricted (stills not covered)
Copyright Act 2005 Art. 19(1)(f) applies the panorama exception only to cinema, TV, or broadcast, not still photographs, so you cannot sell stills of copyrighted public works. Expressions of folklore are protected in perpetuity.
Practical notes
- Do not photograph military, government, the seat of government, or Kotoka airport, and ask before photographing police or soldiers.
- Selling still photos of modern landmarks is legally risky; clear rights or shoot only public-domain structures.
