Africans with a valid passport can now travel to Togo without visas after the West African nation announced a new open-border policy for the continent.
The visa-free access would span 30 days, the ministry of security said early Tuesday.
In a statement, Calixte Madjoulba, security minister, said the decision took effect on Monday and reflects the ongoing commitment of the highest Togolese authorities to promote African integration, strengthen the free movement of people and goods, and foster increased cooperation among the states and peoples of the continent.
It is part of the dynamic of openness, modernization, and attractiveness initiated by the President of the Council, with the ambition of making Togo a regional hub for services, business, culture, and human exchange in the heart of Africa,” Madjoulba said.
