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. 其他所有人必須取得下列簽證類型之一：
- 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. 然而，申請者在簽證類型中需要的最常見文件包括：
- 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
- 填妥的簽證申請表
- 2 recent passport-size photos
- 回程航班證明
- 住宿期間的旅遊平安險
- 黃熱病證書
移民簽證需要收入證明，例如銀行對帳單、健康保險證明和搬到 Togo 的動機信函。
申請流程
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. 這些步驟包括：
- 填寫簽證申請表
- 收集所有必要文件
- 支付該國的簽證費
- 提交所需文件和申請
- Waiting for the application to get processed
- Picking up the visa
處理時間取決於特定的大使館或領事館。 However, it typically takes about 5 to 10 working days from the time the embassy receives the application.
其他重要考量
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. 如果員工離職，則需要新的工作許可。
