Togo has removed visa requirements for citizens of all African countries travelling into the country for short stays of up to 30 days.
The announcement was made on Tuesday by Togo’s Ministry of Security in a statement shared through its official X handle.
According to the ministry, the new policy is aimed at strengthening African integration, improving mobility across the continent and promoting regional cooperation.
Under the new arrangement, African nationals holding valid national passports will be allowed to enter Togo without obtaining a visa for stays not exceeding 30 days.
“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,” the statement said.

The ministry added that the reform reflects the government’s commitment to making Togo a hub for openness, opportunities and cooperation within Africa.
Despite the visa waiver, travellers are still expected to complete a travel declaration through the official government platform at least 24 hours before arrival to obtain a travel slip.
The development follows a similar visa-free policy earlier introduced by Rwanda as several African countries continue to push for easier intra-African movement and stronger continental integration.
Nigeria has also responded by implementing a 30-day visa exemption policy for Rwandan nationals entering the country.
