What documents does a Canada citizen need for a Togo visa?

Passport valid for at least 6 months beyond your planned departure from Togo, with at least 2 blank pages. Digital passport photo (white background) for the online application. Scanned copy of your passport bio page. Confirmed flight itinerary and proof of accommodation. Yellow fever vaccination certificate is mandatory for entry into Togo. No in-person biometrics are required for the e-visa; you receive an approval letter to print and present on arrival.

What types of visas can Canada citizens get for Togo?

Short-stay e-Visa (Tourist/Business): options for 7, 15, 30, or 90 days, single entry, fee ranging roughly EUR 30 (7 days) to EUR 75 (90 days). Multiple-entry e-Visa: available for frequent business travelers, valid up to 90 days with multiple entries, higher fee (approx. EUR 100). Long-stay visas (work, residency) must be arranged through the Togolese Embassy rather than the online portal.

How do Canada citizens apply for a Togo visa?

Apply at the official portal, visa.gouv.tg, creating an account and filling in personal, passport, and travel details. Upload your passport scan, photo, yellow fever certificate, and proof of accommodation/itinerary. Pay the fee online by credit card in euros (converted automatically from local currency pricing). Processing typically takes 48-72 hours; you receive an approval PDF by email to print and carry with your passport. Present the printed approval and passport at Lomé-Tokoin International Airport on arrival to receive your entry stamp.

How much does a Togo visa cost for Canada citizens?

7-day e-visa: approximately EUR 30 (about CAD 44). 30-day e-visa: approximately EUR 50 (about CAD 73). 90-day e-visa: approximately EUR 75-100 (about CAD 110-145). Standard processing: 48-72 hours; no dedicated express option is advertised, so apply at least a week before travel to allow buffer time. No separate service/VFS fee - payment is made directly through the government portal.

What should Canada citizens know before traveling to Togo?

Apply for the e-visa at least 1-2 weeks before departure since processing times can occasionally exceed the stated 72 hours. Double-check that your yellow fever certificate is properly signed and dated - this is one of the most common reasons for delays or on-arrival issues. Print two copies of your e-visa approval in case one is requested by your airline at check-in and another by immigration. Keep a digital copy on your phone as backup in case you can't print before departure. For stays beyond 90 days or non-tourist purposes, contact the Togolese Embassy directly rather than relying on the e-visa portal.
