The government of Togo has announced the removal of visa requirements for nationals of all African countries travelling into the country for short stays, as part of efforts to improve movement across the continent.
The announcement was made this Tuesday by Togo’s Ministry of Security through its official X handle, where the ministry said African nationals with valid passports can now enter the country without a visa for up to 30 days.
The ministry explained that the policy was introduced to promote cooperation, mobility and economic opportunities among African countries.
Authorities, however, said travellers would still be required to complete a travel declaration through the official government platform at least 24 hours before arrival.
The development places Togo among African countries easing travel restrictions for fellow African citizens, following similar visa-free policies introduced by Rwanda.
