This page has been reviewed and verified by Michael Gibbons, Regulated Immigration Advisor. You can confirm current guidance via Our Togo Visa Guidance.

A Togo Transit Visa allows foreign nationals to pass through Togo en route to another destination. It is typically required for travellers who need to leave the airport transit area or who will remain in Togo for a short period before continuing their journey. Transit visas are issued by Togolese immigration authorities and may be processed via an embassy, consulate, or the official Togo eVisa system, depending on nationality.

Eligibility Requirements

• Valid passport (minimum 6 months validity beyond intended transit period)
• Completed Togo transit visa application form
• Confirmed onward travel ticket to a third country
• Valid visa or entry permission for the final destination (if required)
• Proof of sufficient funds to cover the transit stay

Application Process

1. Determine whether your nationality requires a transit visa for Togo.
2. Complete the online eVisa application or submit an application through a Togolese diplomatic mission.
3. Upload supporting documents, including onward travel confirmation.
4. Pay the applicable transit visa fee using the approved payment method.
5. Receive the visa approval electronically or collect it from the issuing authority.

Processing Times & Validity

Processing times for a Togo Transit Visa are generally short, often ranging from a few working days to one week. The visa is usually issued for a very limited validity period, covering only the duration necessary for transit. Travellers must exit Togo within the authorised timeframe to remain compliant with immigration rules.
