Summary
A supported job can let a foreign employee apply to live and work in Togo. The file combines the employer's hiring authorization and business records with the worker's tax, financial, police, and medical evidence. The employer needs to support the application beyond simply issuing an offer.
Applicants submit online and then provide physical documents to DGDN, the immigration and identity directorate. The passport must remain valid at least three months beyond the requested card period. Check the approved job and residence term, since the application does not establish unrestricted permission to change employers.
Eligibility
The employer must supply hiring authorization, the employment contract and work certificate, its business-creation card, and an accepted identity or residence record for the manager.
Prepare your personal tax-clearance record, evidence of financial support, recent police and medical records, and a passport valid for at least three months beyond the requested card period. Submit the application online, then provide the physical documents to DGDN, the immigration and identity directorate.
