What happens at the border

Apply for the eVisa online
Go to evisa.gouv.tg, fill in your personal and travel details, upload a passport photo and a scan of your passport bio page. Pay the fee (around 30,000 XOF, roughly €45) by credit card. Processing takes 2–5 business days.

Receive and print your approval letter
You'll get an email with an approval letter (PDF). Print it and keep a digital copy on your phone. The letter includes a QR code that immigration will scan.
