What it means in practice
15 days is about two weeks. If you arrive on 1 November 2026, your last legal day is 15 November 2026, because the arrival day is day one. Use the stay calculator for your own dates.
For a longer base you need an extension, if one exists, or a different visa from the start. Repeated back-to-back entries are at the officer's discretion.
How Togo counts your stay: As set by the e-visa (15, 30 or 90 days).

- Passport valid at least 3 months after you leave Togo (and 3 months beyond the visa)
- Approved e-visa and completed online registration
- Yellow fever vaccination certificate
How to avoid overstaying
- Go by your stamp or visa. The date the officer gives you is the one that counts, even if it is shorter than the maximum.
- Plan to leave a day or two early. With 15 days, book your exit before the last legal day so a cancelled flight doesn't push you over.
- Extend before you run out. Contact the DGDN (Direction Générale de la Documentation Nationale) in Lomé; longer stays require a residence card.
- Penalties. Our data does not list the overstay penalty for Togo. Ask the immigration authority before you risk it: fines, deportation and entry bans are common elsewhere.
Good to know
