Poland to Togo visa requirements

Polish ordinary passport holders need an e-Visa to enter Togo for tourism. Apply online at the official portal (voyage.gouv.tg) at least 5-6 business days before arrival. Visa-on-arrival has been discontinued. A yellow fever vaccination certificate is mandatory. As of 2026, Poland is NOT on Togo's visa-exempt list (which is limited to African Union member states and a few bilateral partners such as Morocco). Polish citizens travelling for tourism must obtain a Togo electronic visa (e-Visa) before departure through the official government platform at voyage.gouv.tg. Togo has discontinued visa-on-arrival, so pre-arrival online application is mandatory. The standard tourist e-Visa for a short stay (1-15 days, single entry) costs 25,000 CFA francs (XOF); longer or multiple-entry options cost more, up to 65,000 CFA for a 31-90 day stay. Processing takes up to 5 working days, and applications must be submitted at least 5-6 business days before arrival to avoid surcharges. A valid passport with at least 6 months remaining, proof of onward travel, accommodation details, and a yellow fever vaccination certificate are required.
