Visa required — consular application, no e-visa option for Togolese citizens
Togolese passports are eligible neither for Taiwan's visa exemption nor its e-visa: a visitor visa must be obtained before departure. And since Taiwan has no representation in Togo, the application takes some organisation.
Where to apply
Applications go through the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office (TECO) covering your region — Taiwan has no classic embassies, so these offices issue the visas. Identify the office covering Togo on the Bureau of Consular Affairs website (boca.gov.tw) and contact it before travelling anywhere: mailing the file or travelling to a neighbouring country may be necessary.
The application file
Online form (filled in on the BOCA portal then printed), passport valid at least 6 months, recent photos, return ticket, proof of accommodation and funds, and depending on the purpose an invitation letter. Supporting documents must be consistent with the announced itinerary.
⚠️ Yellow fever: the certificate is essential
Taiwan requires a yellow fever vaccination certificate from travellers arriving from at-risk countries — and Togo is one of them. Carry the international vaccination certificate: without it, you risk denied boarding or complications on arrival.
Timing
Between identifying the competent office, sending the file and processing, allow plenty of time: apply at least 6 to 8 weeks before your travel date. Visa fees are in the range of a few dozen euros — check the exact amount with the office when applying.
Common mistakes
Confusing Taiwan with mainland China: the visas are entirely separate — a Chinese visa does not allow entry to Taiwan (and vice versa). Underestimating the delays caused by the absence of representation in Togo. Forgetting the yellow fever certificate. And submitting weak proof of funds — as everywhere, the top reason for refusal.
Best time to travel
Taiwan has a subtropical climate with hot, humid summers and mild winters. The optimal travel period is generally from October to April, when the weather tends to be drier and cooler. It is advisable to avoid the summer months, especially June to September, due to heavy rains and typhoons.
Main arrival airports
The main international entry points in Taiwan are Taoyuan International Airport serving Taipei and the northern region, and Kaohsiung International Airport in the south. These airports handle most international flights and are the primary gateways for travelers arriving from abroad.
Documents to prepare
For travel under the visa-on-arrival regime, it is essential to have a valid passport for the entire duration of the stay. A return or onward ticket should be prepared, along with proof of accommodation or financial means if requested. Travel insurance covering the stay is recommended.
