Okay, so, about that Togolese passport. I decided to get one, and let me tell you, it was quite the ride. Here’s how it all went down.

First off, I did some digging online. Turns out, as of late November 2024, Togolese passport holders can travel to about 59 countries without a visa. Pretty sweet, right? And back in August 2024, it was just 54. They are gaining more visa-free countries! I also found out that back in March 2024, there were only 29 countries, so it is definitely growing. I thought, “Why not add another passport to my collection?” It seemed like a decent option, especially since it gives you visa-free access to places like Morocco, Malagasy, and Barbados.

So, I started gathering what I needed. The whole process is mainly about applying in person. I’m not sure if that’s just for first-timers or what, but that’s how it is. I had to fill out some forms. I grabbed the DS-82 form since I was just renewing and needed an emergency passport. If you’re a minor or getting it for the first time after 16, you’d need the DS-11. They are pretty easy to get online.

Next, I had to visit the Togolese Embassy. It’s a must. You have to show up in person. I walked in, form in hand, and spoke to the folks there. They were pretty helpful, guiding me through each step. I handed over my application and waited. It wasn’t too long before they processed it.

While I was waiting, I learned that Togolese passport holders can get a visa on arrival in Kenya for up to 90 days and in Seychelles for up to 30 days. This made me even more excited about the possibilities. Plus, there are e-visa options for countries like Equatorial Guinea, Saint Helena, South Sudan, and Uganda. More places to explore!

After a bit of a wait, they called me up. Passport ready! I got it in my hands, and man, it felt good. Brand new Togolese passport, all set to go.

Here’s a quick rundown of what I did:

  • Researched online about visa-free countries for Togolese passport holders.
  • Gathered the necessary forms (DS-82 in my case).
  • Visited the Togolese Embassy in person.
  • Submitted my application and waited for processing.
  • Learned about visa on arrival and e-visa options.
  • Got my new passport and felt like a world traveler.

All in all, it was a pretty smooth process. A bit of paperwork, a trip to the embassy, and some waiting around, but totally worth it. Now I’ve got another passport, and I’m ready to see where it takes me. If you’re thinking about it, I’d say go for it! It opens up a bunch of travel options, and who doesn’t love that?

So yeah, that’s my story. Hope it helps anyone else looking to get a Togolese passport. Happy travels, folks!
