The government of Togo has announced a new visa-free policy for citizens of all African countries visiting the nation for short stays of up to 30 days.
The development was disclosed on Tuesday in a statement issued by the country’s Ministry of Security through its official X account.
According to the ministry, the initiative is aimed at deepening African integration and encouraging the free movement of people across the continent.
Under the new arrangement, African travellers with valid national passports will now be allowed to enter Togo without obtaining a visa, provided their stay does not exceed 30 days.
The ministry described the move as a major step toward strengthening regional cooperation, openness, and economic collaboration among African nations.
It added that the reform reflects the commitment of the country’s leadership to positioning Togo as a centre for mobility, opportunities, and continental partnership.
Despite the visa exemption, visitors will still be required to complete an online travel declaration through the government’s official platform at least 24 hours before arrival in order to receive a travel clearance slip.
The latest decision places Togo among African countries adopting more open border policies to support regional integration and boost diplomatic and economic ties within the continent.
The move also follows similar initiatives introduced by countries such as Rwanda.
Meanwhile, the Nigerian government has also begun implementing a 30-day visa-free policy for Rwandan citizens entering Nigeria.
