Under the new arrangement, African travellers holding valid national passports can now enter Togo without obtaining a visa, provided their stay does not exceed 30 days.
The ministry described the move as a major step toward enhancing continental unity and positioning Togo as a hub for mobility, opportunities and collaboration within Africa.
Despite the visa waiver, visitors will still be required to complete a travel declaration through the government’s official online platform at least 24 hours before arrival to obtain a travel slip.
