Do Nigerian Citizens Need a Visa to Visit Togo?
Nigerian citizens benefit from regional free movement arrangements between member states of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS).
Under the ECOWAS free movement framework, eligible Nigerian citizens can generally make short visits to Togo without obtaining a conventional tourist visa.
The ECOWAS framework provides for visa-free entry for visits of up to 90 days, subject to applicable national entry conditions.
Visa-free travel does not remove the requirement to carry acceptable identification, satisfy applicable health rules or follow border formalities.
Important:
If you
are a
Nigerian citizen
travelling for
an eligible
short visit
under ECOWAS
arrangements,
you generally
should not
need to
purchase a
tourist eVisa.
Confirm current
requirements before departure.
Travellers intending to work, establish residence or remain beyond an authorised visit should verify the relevant immigration procedures.
