How to apply online

  • Standard processing: 48-72 hours
  • Apply at least 5 business days before departure to allow time for any resubmission

Tips for China travelers

  • Apply at least one week before departure since portal connectivity issues can delay approval
  • Most rejections are due to blurry passport scans or photos that don't meet the white-background specification
  • There is no Togolese embassy in mainland China, so the e-visa route is the only practical option for most applicants
  • Extensions beyond 90 days must be requested in person at the Direction Générale de la Documentation Nationale in Lomé before the visa expires
