The Togolese government has announced the removal of visa requirements for citizens of all African countries visiting the nation for short stays of up to 30 days.
The announcement was made on Tuesday in a statement released by the Togolese Ministry of Security through its official X account.
According to the ministry, the decision is aimed at strengthening African integration and encouraging easier movement across the continent.
Under the new policy, African travellers with valid national passports can now enter Togo without a visa for stays not exceeding 30 days.
The statement read: “Togo takes a historic step in strengthening African integration. Henceforth, all nationals of African states holding a valid national passport may enter Togolese territory without a visa for a stay of up to 30 days.
“Through this major reform, the President of the Council reaffirms his commitment to making Togo a hub of openness, mobility, opportunities, and cooperation in the heart of Africa.”
Despite the visa waiver, travellers are still required to complete a travel declaration on the official government platform at least 24 hours before arrival to obtain a travel slip.
The ministry noted that the initiative reflects Togo’s commitment to regional integration and stronger ties among African nations.
The move comes after Rwanda introduced a similar visa-free policy for African travellers.
In response, Nigeria has also begun implementing a 30-day visa exemption policy for Rwandan citizens entering the country.
