Italy to Togo visa requirements

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

A 15-day single-entry e-Visa costs 25,000 CFA francs (XOF). Multiple-entry and 30/90-day options cost 35,000, 45,000 and 65,000 XOF respectively.

Q: How long does processing take?

Up to 5 working days. You must apply at least 5 days before arrival; applying fewer than 6 days before arrival can incur a surcharge.

Q: Is a yellow fever vaccination required?

Yes. Proof of yellow fever vaccination is mandatory for all travelers entering Togo, regardless of nationality.

Q: What is the official website to apply?

The only official portal is voyage.gouv.tg, the Togolese government's travel and e-Visa platform. Avoid unofficial third-party sites.

Q: How long can I stay on the tourist e-Visa?

The standard short-stay visa allows up to 15 days. You can select 30-day or 90-day multiple-entry options for longer trips at higher fees.

Italian passport holders need an e-Visa to visit Togo for tourism. Togo no longer issues visa on arrival; apply online via the official portal voyage.gouv.tg before you travel. Italy is not on Togo's visa-exempt list, so an Italian ordinary passport holder must obtain a visa before traveling for tourism. Since 2023 Togo has discontinued visa-on-arrival and replaced it with a fully electronic e-Visa applied for through the government portal at voyage.gouv.tg. The standard tourist e-Visa for a short stay covers up to 15 days (single entry) and costs 25,000 CFA francs (XOF), with multiple-entry and longer-validity options available at higher fees. Applications must be submitted at least 5 days before arrival, and processing takes up to 5 working days. Passports must be valid at least 6 months beyond arrival, and proof of yellow fever vaccination is mandatory for all travelers entering Togo. Payment is made online by Visa/Mastercard or local mobile money (TMoney/Flooz), and the approved e-Visa is delivered electronically by email. All travelers must also complete the online immigration declaration form before arrival.
