A Togo Business Visa allows foreign nationals to enter Togo for business-related activities such as meetings, conferences, negotiations, training, and short-term commercial engagements. This visa does not permit long-term employment or paid work for a Togolese entity. Business visas are issued by Togolese immigration authorities and may be obtained via an embassy, consulate, or the official Togo eVisa system, depending on the applicant’s nationality.
