Togo Visa for tourist and business

There are two ways through which visa-required foreigners apply for a Togo visa:

• On arrival, at the port of entry in Togo; or
• At a Togonese Embassy or Consulate in your country or a neighboring country

Whether or not you need a visa for Togo depends on your nationality. Citizens of several countries are exempt from Togo visa requirements – which means they can travel to Togo without having to obtain a visa beforehand. See the visa policy of Togo below.

Togo Visa Requirements

• Passport-size pictures.
• Passport Personal Details Scan
• Proof of Accommodation
• Proof of sufficient financial means.

Nationals of all countries are eligible for a Togo Visa On Arrival. However, the Togo Visa On Arrival is only valid for seven days, with the possibility to extend it for up to 90 days once you’re already in Togo.

You need to have a Togo visa application form and two passport-size pictures with you and pay a fee of 15,000 CFA or its equivalent in Euro or Dollars. You may also have to show proof of Yellow Fever vaccination, accommodation, and a return flight ticket, as well as any other documents depending on the purpose of your travel.

If you want to stay for longer than 7 days, you can apply to extend your visa at the Foreigners and Passport Service in Toga before your current visa expires. The Togo visa extension is free of charge.

However, many travelers who know they want to stay in Togo for longer than 7 days opt for applying for the visa before they travel at a Togolese Embassy or Consulate because they consider it to be less of a hassle than applying for an extension.

You can download the Togo visa application form from one of the websites of Togo’s diplomatic representations abroad. Some embassies or consulates require you to fill it out beforehand and have it with you when you submit the application.

Depending on the format of the application form file, you may be able to complete it electronically then just print it and sign it. Or, you may have to print it first and fill it out by hand.

Visa fees are non-refundable..

The processing time for a Togo visa depends on the specific Embassy or Consulate, but you can expect to wait at least between 5 – 10 working days starting from the time they receive your completed application. It may take longer, however, depending on the specific circumstances so you should start the application process at least about a month in advance, especially if you’re going to apply by mail.
