United Arab Emirates e-Visa for citizens of Togo: online application, fees and processing time 2026

Yes. As a Togolese citizen you must obtain a visa to enter the United Arab Emirates for tourism. The standard format is the electronic visa (e-Visa), issued before you travel.

Prepare a Togolese passport valid for at least 6 months on the date of entry, a compliant passport photo, a copy of the passport bio page, and the supporting documents requested by the portal (return flight booking, accommodation, and possibly proof of funds). The fee amount and validity period depend on the visa type you choose and are not fixed here: check them directly on the official portal before you pay.

The e-Visa is applied for online, with no need to visit a consulate. The official portal is run by the Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs & Port Security (ICP) at icp.gov.ae. Many Togolese travellers also apply through their airline or their UAE hotel, either of which can sponsor the request. Create a file, upload your documents, pay the fee and track the status until the visa is delivered electronically.

The regime follows your nationality, not where you live. If you reside in Togo but travel on another country's passport, the rule on this page is not yours. Filing usually still happens from your country of residence, at the post competent for it, but the requirement itself comes from your passport.

Processing time varies by the channel used and the visa type; check the official portal for the current estimate. Submit your application several working days before departure to absorb any delay. Also review the health entry requirements (including a possible yellow-fever certificate, as Togo is an affected area) and keep a digital and printed copy of your e-Visa for boarding and the arrival check.

Do not assume a visa on arrival: without a confirmed e-Visa you may be denied boarding. Avoid unofficial intermediary websites that add surcharges. Make sure the name and passport number you enter match the document exactly, as an error invalidates the visa. Finally, do not let your passport drop near the 6-month validity limit, and do not leave the application to the last minute.
