For the relevant traveller scope, is a visa, electronic authorisation, visa on arrival or no advance visa normally required?

Entry to Togo is generally subject to obtaining a visa, subject to exemptions decided by the government and bilateral/multilateral reciprocal-exemption agreements; the tourist visa is one of the four visa types the decree defines for this purpose.

  • DGDN, page Visa
    L'entree et le sejour des etrangers sur le territoire togolais sont subordonnes a l'obtention d'un visa, sous reserve des restrictions liees a des accords bilateraux et multilateraux, dispenses speciales et exemptions decoulant du principe de reciprocite.
  • Decree 2022-050, Article 3
    national est soumise à l’obtention d’un visa.

What maximum stay, rolling-period rule, validity and entry rules apply?

Visa validity generally ranges from fifteen (15) to three hundred and sixty-five (365) days depending on the visa type, and after entry any visa holder may request an extension not exceeding ninety (90) days. Beyond ninety days, a tourist or immigration visa holder must in any case obtain a residence card. The official sources do not state a validity figure specific to the tourist visa.

  • The exact validity figure specific to the tourist-visa category, as opposed to the general 15-365 day range covering all visa types, is not isolated in the captured decree text or on the DGDN visa page.

What important funds, accommodation, invitation, insurance, onward-travel or passport evidence may be required?

Border/application evidence includes proof of sufficient financial resources to subsist during the stay, an invitation letter from the inviting organisation or person where applicable, travel insurance where applicable, and a flight-reservation certificate or ticket.

Where/how is permission obtained when required, and under what important circumstances can a stay be extended or changed?

The visa is applied for online via the dedicated national platform, with a manual fallback if the platform is inaccessible; the DGDN notifies its decision through the online platform within a maximum of five days, and payment made on the electronic platform is final and non-refundable if the application is rejected. Once in Togo, an extension can also be requested through the DGDN's own online portal (services.dgdn.gouv.tg) before the visa expires.
