Length of Stay

The duration of your permitted stay depends on the visa type you are granted. Most tourist visas allow stays of up to 30 days, though this can vary. It is vital that you do not overstay the allowance on your permit, as this can result in fines or future travel bans.

Financial Considerations

There is a processing fee associated with every application. The total amount will depend on your chosen visa type and processing speed. All fees are paid securely online at the end of the application form. Check the current fee schedule on the visa fees page before you begin.

How Fast is Processing?

Standard processing typically takes a few business days. If you need your permit sooner, faster processing options are available for an additional charge. The table below gives a general overview of the available processing speeds.

Completing the Digital Form

The online application form is straightforward and can be completed in a short amount of time. You will be asked to enter your personal details, passport information, and travel plans. Once the form is complete, you will upload your supporting documents and submit your payment. Always double-check your entries before submitting, as errors can delay your approval.

Monitoring Status

After you have submitted your application, you will receive a confirmation email with a reference number. This can be used to check the progress of your application online at any time. You will also receive a notification when your permit has been approved and is ready for download.

Why Applications Might Fail

A common reason for rejection is incorrect or mismatched information between the form and your supporting documents. Blurry or improperly formatted photos are another frequent cause of delays. Ensuring all information is accurate and all files are clearly scanned will greatly improve your chances of a first-time approval.

Handling Expired Permits

If your permit has expired and you are still in Togo, you should contact the local immigration authority immediately. Options may include applying for an extension or arranging to depart. Remaining in the country beyond your authorised stay carries significant penalties and can affect future visa applications.

Benefits of Professional Support

Using a guided service can make the application process much less stressful. Professional support can help you avoid common errors and ensure your documents meet all requirements. This can save time and increase the likelihood of a successful first-time application, particularly for those who are unfamiliar with the process.
