Do I need a visa for Sweden from Togo?
Discover visa requirements for your trip
Togolese travellers must obtain a Schengen short-stay visa (Type C) for a tourist stay in Sweden. As Sweden is part of the Schengen area, the visa is applied for before departure at the competent Swedish representation.
Togo is not among the countries exempt from the Schengen visa, so a Togolese national must file an application before any tourist trip to Sweden. The Type C visa allows a stay of up to 90 days within any 180-day period. It should be sought when Sweden is the main destination of the trip.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. Togolese citizens are subject to the visa requirement for Sweden and must obtain a Schengen short-stay visa (Type C) before leaving. The visa allows travel across the whole Schengen area as long as Sweden is the main destination or your first point of entry.
How and where to apply
Sweden does not always keep a representation in Lomé; applications from Togolese applicants may be handled by the Swedish embassy responsible for the region or by the Schengen state representing Sweden, along with their service provider (VFS Global, depending on the current arrangement). The appointment and biometric capture take place in person. Check the consular jurisdiction that covers Togo before you start.
Documents and fees
Prepare a valid passport, the Schengen form, compliant photos, a return flight reservation, proof of accommodation, evidence of funds, and travel medical insurance covering at least EUR 30,000. Applicants from Togo must also show a yellow-fever vaccination certificate, which is required for this country. The adult visa fee is usually EUR 90; confirm the exact amount and currency with the official source.
Processing and tips
Processing generally takes 15 to 45 days, so submit your file several weeks ahead. Applications can be lodged up to six months before the trip. Because the application may go through an embassy in a neighbouring country, allow extra time for documents to travel.
Common mistakes
Do not apply to another Schengen state if Sweden is your main destination. Avoid inadequate insurance, forgetting the yellow-fever certificate, or misjudging which consular jurisdiction handles Togolese files. Check current fees, timelines and the service provider on the official sites before applying.
