Do China passport holders need a visa to visit TG?

Chinese ordinary passport holders need a visa for Togo, obtained as an eVisa through the official government portal (voyage.gouv.tg) before travel. Visa-on-arrival has been discontinued. A yellow fever vaccination certificate is mandatory for all travelers. As of 2026, a holder of a Chinese (CN) ordinary passport must obtain a visa to enter Togo (TG) for tourism. Togo no longer issues visa-on-arrival; instead, all nationalities that require a visa apply online for an electronic visa (eVisa) through the official platform at voyage.gouv.tg. The Tourist eVisa is issued as single-entry (validity up to 30 days) or multiple-entry (validity up to 90 days, typically 30 days per stay). Applications should be lodged at least 5 working days before arrival, and a Traveler Declaration Form must also be completed online within 72 hours before departure. A valid yellow fever vaccination certificate is mandatory for all travelers regardless of origin. Only Chinese diplomatic and public-affairs (service) passport holders are visa-exempt; ordinary passport holders are not. Fees are charged in CFA francs (XOF) and vary by duration and entry type.
