Russian Federation to Togo visa requirements

Q: Is visa on arrival available in Togo?

No. Togo discontinued visa on arrival. You must apply for the eVisa online at voyage.gouv.tg in advance.

Q: How much does the Togo eVisa cost for a short tourist visit?

A 15-day single-entry tourist eVisa costs 25,000 CFA francs. Longer options cost up to 65,000 CFA francs for 90 days.

Q: How long does the eVisa take to process?

Up to 5 working days. Apply at least 5 working days before arrival to avoid a late-application surcharge.

Q: Do I need anything besides the visa?

Yes. All travelers must complete the mandatory online immigration/travel declaration on voyage.gouv.tg before arrival, and carry a yellow fever vaccination certificate.

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

Stay options are 15, 30, or up to 90 days, depending on the eVisa type you select and pay for.

Russian ordinary passport holders need an eVisa to visit Togo. There is no visa-free entry and visa on arrival has been discontinued. Apply online at the official portal voyage.gouv.tg before traveling; the standard tourist eVisa is 15-day single-entry for 25,000 CFA francs, with processing up to 5 working days. A Russia (RU) ordinary passport holder traveling to Togo for tourism must obtain a Togo eVisa in advance. Togo introduced its electronic visa system on the national travel platform https://voyage.gouv.tg and no longer issues visa on arrival. Only Russian diplomatic and service passport holders enjoy visa exemption under a bilateral agreement; ordinary passport holders are not covered and must apply for the eVisa. The application is fully online: create an account, use the "Visa Assistant" to confirm eligibility, complete the form, upload documents (passport bio-data page, photo, onward ticket, accommodation), and pay by card or mobile money (Flooz/TMoney). Applications must be submitted at least 5 (some sources say 6) working days before arrival; submitting later than the deadline incurs a late surcharge. Tourist eVisa options range from a 15-day single entry (25,000 CFA) up to a 90-day stay (65,000 CFA). Processing takes a maximum of 5 working days. Separately, all travelers (with or without a visa) must complete the mandatory online immigration/travel declaration on the same platform before arrival. The passport must be valid for at least six months beyond the intended stay, and proof of onward travel is required. Confirmed against the Togo government numerique.gouv.tg announcement, the official voyage.gouv.tg portal, and the Wikipedia visa-policy tables, which are mutually consistent.
