Togo offers an official electronic visa (e-Visa) system for Indian passport holders and other eligible nationalities. The e-Visa is designed to simplify entry for tourism, business, family visits, and short-term stays, allowing applicants to complete the entire process online without visiting an embassy in most cases.
Applicants must fill out an online form, upload required documents, and pay the visa fee digitally. Once approved, the traveler receives an e-Visa approval letter (PDF format) via email, which must be printed and carried during travel. This document is presented at immigration upon arrival in Togo.
The visa is generally issued as a short-stay permit, and the validity, duration of stay, and entry type (single or multiple entry) are determined solely by Togo immigration authorities based on the applicant’s profile and purpose of visit. The main entry point for e-Visa holders is Lomé–Tokoin International Airport.
Even with an approved e-Visa, entry is not guaranteed, as final admission is decided by immigration officers at the port of entry after verification of documents such as return tickets, accommodation proof, financial stability, and travel purpose.
