Canada to Togo visa requirements

Q: How much does the Togo e-Visa cost for Canadians?

The tourist e-Visa starts at 25,000 CFA francs (about USD 42) for 1-15 days single entry, rising to 65,000 CFA for stays up to 90 days.

Q: How long does the Togo e-Visa take to process?

Processing takes a maximum of 5 working days. Apply at least 6 working days before your trip to avoid surcharges.

Q: Is a yellow fever vaccination required for Togo?

Yes. Proof of yellow fever vaccination is required for entry to Togo for all travelers.

Q: What is the immigration declaration form?

A mandatory online entry/exit form (bordereau d'immigration) on voyage.gouv.tg that must be completed no later than 24 hours before arrival.

Q: How do I pay for the Togo e-Visa?

Payment is online by Visa or Mastercard, or by mobile money (TMoney or Flooz). Cash is not accepted.

Canadian passport holders need a visa for Togo. The official route is the Togo e-Visa, applied for online at voyage.gouv.tg before travel. Visa-on-arrival is suspended. A Canadian ordinary-passport holder traveling to Togo for tourism is not visa-exempt. The Togolese government's official travel platform (voyage.gouv.tg) lists Canada among nationalities that require a visa and now issues an electronic visa (e-Visa) that must be obtained online before departure. Visa-on-arrival and express visas at land and air borders are explicitly suspended. The standard tourist e-Visa for a short visit (1-15 days, single entry) costs 25,000 CFA francs, with higher tiers for multiple entries (35,000 CFA) or longer stays up to 90 days (45,000-65,000 CFA). Processing takes a maximum of 5 working days, and applications must be submitted at least 6 working days before arrival to avoid surcharges. Payment is by Visa/Mastercard or mobile money (TMoney/Flooz); cash is not accepted. Travelers must also complete the mandatory online immigration declaration (bordereau d'immigration) no later than 24 hours before arrival, hold a passport valid for at least 6 months, and carry proof of yellow fever vaccination, which is required for entry to Togo. There is no Schengen consideration: Togo is in West Africa and is not part of the Schengen area.
