If you’re planning to expand to Togo, you’ll need to know how to get a work visa for every employee.
Types of work visas in Togo
Nationals from certain countries, mainly members of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), do not need a visa to enter Togo. 其他人必须获得以下签证类型之一：
- Tourist visa: This visa is for individuals traveling to Togo for tourism, a visit, or to participate, upon invitation, in meetings, fairs, seminars, or conferences. It is valid for up to 90 days.
- Professional visa: This visa allows the holder to practice certain professions and activities or respond to requests of invitations from partners established in Togo in order to carry out some projects limited in time.
- Immigration visa: This visa is for nationals from other countries intending to live in Togo long-term for professional or study purposes or for family reunification.
- Courtesy visa: This is a multiple-entry visa issued for members of the government, state officials, and administration executives, to complete missions and official visits in the country.
Requirements to obtain Togo work visas
In most cases, employees will need an immigration visa, which may have different requirements. 但是，申请人在签证类型中最常用的文件包括：
- A passport valid for at least 6 months from the end of the stay with 2 blank pages
- Copies of the employee’s first 3 passport pages
- 填妥的签证申请表
- 2 recent passport-size photos
- 返程航班证明
- 住宿期间的旅行保险
- 黄热病证明
移民签证需要收入证明，如银行对账单，以及健康保险证明和搬到多哥的动机信。
申请流程
In order to apply for a visa, employees should look up the specific embassy or consulate where they will apply, as each has a different application process. 这些步骤包括：
- 填写签证申请表
- 收集所有必需的文档
- 支付国家签证费
- 提交所需的文件和申请
- Waiting for the application to get processed
- Picking up the visa
处理时间取决于具体大使馆或领事馆。 However, it typically takes about 5 to 10 working days from the time the embassy receives the application.
其他重要考虑因素
Once in Togo and after obtaining a visa, employees will also need to get a residence permit at the DGDN, that will authorize them to work for your company. 如果员工离职，则需要新的工作许可证。
