Does a Ghanaian UK resident need a Belgian transit visa?

Yes, indeed you need one.

Here are the requirements ( from VisaGuide.world) :

  1. Schedule an appointment by contacting the Belgium embassy or the consulate. If there is no Belgian embassy/consulate, you have to find out where they have outsourced visa submissions. It could be the embassy or consulate of another country or a visa application center
  2. Fill the Belgium transit visa application form. The visa application form should be available online at the website of the embassy/consulate or visa application center. Alternatively, you may have to go pick up a physical copy of the form at their offices.
  3. Prepare the required documents. Collect the required documents for a Belgium transit visa application.
  4. Be present at your appointment and bring with you the required documents.
  5. Pay the visa fee.

There is more information in SchengenVisaInfo and VisaGuide.world

It would appear that you do need a visa.

β€œTransiting without a visa is possible for:

  • Nationals of Ghana arriving from a non-Schengen Member State with a confirmed onward ticket for a flight within 24 hours to a third country which is not a Schengen Member State. They must:

  • have a visa issued by Bulgaria, Canada, Croatia, Cyprus, Ireland (Rep.), Japan, Romania, or USA, and

  • stay in the international transit area of the airport, and

  • have documents required for the next destination.”

The UK is not among the countries whose visa holders or residents are exempt from securing a transit visa.
