Africa: Togo Removes Visa Requirement for African Nationals
- On Sunday, the Togolese government removed visa requirements for all African nationals holding valid passports, allowing stays of up to 30 days and instructing border agencies to ensure immediate implementation across all entry points.
- Minister of Security Calixte Madjoulba disclosed on Monday that the decision aims to deepen regional integration and boost cross-border cooperation, reflecting a broader commitment to strengthening free movement across Africa.
- Visitors must complete an online travel declaration at least 24 hours before arrival, according to Madjoulba, noting the exemption does not override existing immigration, public health, or national security requirements.
- Togo is the latest country to adopt this policy, following Rwanda, Ghana, and Kenya; PREMIUM TIMES reported last Friday that Nigeria also reciprocated Rwanda's 30-day visa-free entry.
- The initiative aligns with the President of the Council's ambition to position the nation as a regional hub for trade and services, amplifying Pan-African ideals of unity and economic cooperation.
