Togo has become the sixth African country to allow visa-free entry for all holders of African passports, effective from May 18, 2026.

Togo joins other countries such as Rwanda, Ghana, Benin, The Gambia, and Seychelles, which have already adopted full or near-full visa-free access for African travelers.

The reform is aimed at boosting pan-African integration, trade, tourism, and positioning Togo as a regional hub.

Travelers must still complete an online pre-arrival declaration and meet existing immigration, health, and security requirements.

Join our Team Lead as he takes the stage at this year's Maritime Trade Fair 2026 (3-4 June) at the Africa Trade House.

With 38 coastal states and 13 million km² of ocean, Africa receives less than 2% of global maritime investment. Time to change that.

He'll discuss shaping Africa's maritime future through public-private partnerships, technology, and finance – because the solution lies in meaningful dialogue and stakeholder engagement.
