France to Togo visa requirements

Q: How much does the Togo tourist eVisa cost for a French passport holder?

The standard 15-day single-entry eVisa costs 25,000 XOF (CFA francs). Multiple-entry and longer 30-day or 90-day options cost more, up to 65,000 XOF.

Q: How long does the Togo eVisa take to process?

Processing takes up to 5 working days. You should apply at least 5 working days before your planned arrival.

Q: Do I need a yellow fever vaccination for Togo?

Yes. A valid yellow fever vaccination certificate is mandatory for all travelers entering Togo, regardless of where you are arriving from. Get vaccinated at least 10 days before travel.

Q: How long can I stay in Togo on a tourist eVisa?

The standard tourist eVisa permits a stay of up to 15 days on a single entry. Options for 30 or 90 days are available at higher fees.

Q: Is there anything to complete besides the eVisa?

Yes. Every visitor must complete the online immigration declaration form no later than 24 hours before arrival, in addition to holding the approved eVisa.

French ordinary passport holders need an eVisa to visit Togo for tourism. Apply online at the official portal (voyage.gouv.tg) at least 5 working days before arrival. Visa on arrival is suspended. A yellow fever vaccination certificate is mandatory. France is not on Togo's visa-exemption list, so French ordinary passport holders must obtain an electronic visa (eVisa) before travel. Togo introduced a centralized online eVisa system via the official portal voyage.gouv.tg and has suspended visa on arrival and express visas until further notice. The standard tourist eVisa is a single-entry permit allowing a stay of up to 15 days, costing 25,000 CFA francs (XOF), with multiple-entry and longer-duration options available at higher fees. Applications must be submitted at least 5 working days before arrival, and processing typically takes up to 5 working days. In addition to the eVisa, every traveler must complete an online immigration declaration form no later than 24 hours before arrival, and a valid yellow fever vaccination certificate is compulsory for all visitors regardless of origin (children over 9-12 months included). Travelers should carry the eVisa approval, proof of accommodation, and a return/onward ticket. Because Togo is in West Africa and not part of the Schengen area, no Schengen 90/180 rule or ETIAS considerations apply.
