Do UAE passport holders need a visa to visit TG?

UAE ordinary passport holders need an e-visa to visit Togo. It must be obtained online via the official Togo Voyage platform (voyage.gouv.tg) before travel - there is no visa on arrival. A yellow fever vaccination certificate is mandatory for entry. A United Arab Emirates ordinary passport holder traveling to Togo for tourism requires an electronic visa (e-visa). Togo discontinued its traditional visa-on-arrival system and now requires nearly all non-ECOWAS nationals - including Emirati citizens - to apply online through the official government platform, Togo Voyage (voyage.gouv.tg), before arrival. The applicant creates an account, completes the immigration form, uploads documents (passport bio page, photo, accommodation and onward ticket, yellow fever certificate), and pays online by card or mobile money. Standard tourist e-visa fees start at 25,000 FCFA for short stays and scale up with duration; processing takes up to 5 working days, and applications must be lodged at least 5-6 days before arrival to avoid a late surcharge. A valid yellow fever vaccination certificate is compulsory for all travelers over one year of age and will be checked on arrival. The passport should be valid at least 6 months beyond the intended stay. Both single and multiple-entry options exist; tourist e-visas are typically issued for short stays (commonly up to 15-30 days, extendable in-country). Verdict: visa-required via e-visa.
