Northern Border Region – Level 3: Reconsider Travel Extremist groups have carried out attacks, including kidnapping, in the northern border region of Togo, the adjacent areas of Burkina Faso, and Benin. Attacks may occur with little or no warning. The current travel policy for embassy personnel prohibits travel north of the town of Dapaong and Highway N24 or Highway N28, along with the district of Kpendjal and Kpendjal-Ouest without special authorization. Embassy personnel may not remain overnight in areas north of Mango. The U.S. government has limited ability to provide emergency services to U.S. citizens in these areas.

North of Kande – Level 2: Exercise Increased Caution Extremist groups have carried out attacks in nearby areas of Benin. Attacks may occur with little or no warning.

The Cities of Sokodé, Bafilo, and Mango – Level 2: Exercise Increased Caution There is a history of violent demonstrations in Sokodé, Bafilo, and Mango, during which protesters and security force members have been injured, and some killed. Police have used tear gas to disperse demonstrations that caused traffic disruptions in city centers and along National Route 1, and arrested demonstrators. Security forces have at times used force to disperse crowds. Authorities have interrupted internet and cellular data services during past protests, making communication difficult and unpredictable.

Entry, Exit and Visa Requirements

The Togolese employ an e-visa system which requires U.S. citizens to apply and pay for their visas before arrival in Togo.  Visas are no longer issued upon arrival.

The Tourist Visa (Visa touristique) is valid for up to 90 days, with prices varying depending on number of entries and the intended duration of stay.  A single-entry tourist visa valid for up to 15 days costs 25,000 West African CFA francs (FCFA), approximately $40. Among other options, fees may be paid by credit card (Mastercard, Visa). Application requirements and information on other visa types can be found  here . A valid U.S. passport with validity of at least three months beyond the intended stay in Togo is required. The Togolese government requires visa applications to be submitted at least five business days in advance of travel.

The U.S. Embassy will not intervene for failure to comply with entry requirements for Togo. Travelers are advised to confirm all travel requirements with the Government of Togo prior to travel. You may contact the  Togolese Embassy  in Washington, DC at 202-234-4212. The Togolese Embassy is located at 2208 Massachusetts Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20008. 

Land borders are closed during elections in Togo and in neighboring Ghana and Benin, and may also be closed for other reasons without notice. Register with the  Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP)  to obtain up-to-date information on border closures.

Documentation of Yellow Fever vaccination is required for all individuals entering Togo who are over one year of age. You will be turned away without the required World Health Organization yellow card with evidence of a current Yellow Fever vaccination. The U.S. Embassy will not intervene for failure to comply with this entry requirement for Togo. Visit the  CDC website  for detailed information on vaccinations and other health precautions.

U.S. travelers should always carry a copy of their passport while traveling in Togo in case local officials request proof of identity and immigration status.  U.S. citizens who exercise their Togolese dual nationality by using a Togo local ID card or passport upon entry should review  limitations  on the U.S. government’s ability to provide consular protection while in Togo.

The U.S. Department of State is unaware of any HIV/AIDS entry restrictions for visitors to or foreign residents of Togo.

Find information on  dual nationality ,  prevention of international child abduction , and  customs regulations  on our websites.

Safety and Security

Terrorism : Terrorist groups and those inspired by such organizations are intent on attacking U.S. citizens abroad. Terrorists are increasingly using less sophisticated methods of attack –including knives, firearms, and vehicles – to target crowds more effectively. Frequently, their aim is unprotected or focused on vulnerable targets, such as:

• High-profile public events (sporting contests, political rallies, demonstrations, holiday events, celebratory gatherings, etc.)
• Hotels, clubs, and restaurants frequented by tourists
• Places of worship
• Shopping malls and markets
• Public transportation systems (including subways, buses, trains, and scheduled commercial flights)

For more information, see our Terrorism page.

Crime :  Street crime is a serious problem, and violent crime happens on a regular basis. Muggings and purse snatchings are known to occur along the beach at night and even during the day. Be aware of your surroundings, do not display large amounts of cash in public, avoid unlit areas at night, keep your car locked at all times, do not resist, and willingly hand over your possessions. The police and the military actively patrol the Ghana border due to higher crime levels. Although the border is open 24 hours, it should be avoided after dark.

Vehicle Searches :  At official checkpoints during night patrols, Togolese security officials prefer that you approach with your interior light on, headlights dimmed, and have your driver’s license and ID card ready. Police may inspect your car and look through the windows. Avoid giving your original passport to the police when possible. Solicitations for money or food should be ignored.

Demonstrations  occur frequently. They may take place in response to political or economic issues, on politically significant holidays, and during international events.

• Even demonstrations intended to be peaceful can turn confrontational and possibly become violent. 
• Avoid areas around protests and demonstrations. 
• Check local media for updates and traffic advisories.

International Financial Scams :  See the  Department of State  and the  FBI  pages for information.

Internet romance and financial scams are prevalent in Togo. Scams are often initiated through Internet postings/profiles, or by unsolicited emails and letters. Scammers almost always pose as U.S. citizens who have no one else to turn to for help. Common scams include: 

• Money transfers
• Lucrative sales
• Contracts with promises of large commissions
• Inheritance notices
• Work permits/job offersBank overpayments

Victims of Crime :  U.S. citizen victims of sexual assault are encouraged to contact the U.S. Embassy for assistance. Report crimes to the local police at 117 and contact the U.S. Embassy at + (228) 22-61-54-70 and after hours at +(228) 90 25 84 78.  Remember that local authorities are responsible for investigating and prosecuting crime.

See our webpage on  help for U.S. victims of crime overseas .

• Help you find appropriate medical care.
• Assist you in reporting a crime to the police.
• Contact relatives or friends with your written consent.
• Provide general information regarding the victim’s role during the local investigation and following its conclusion. 
• Provide a list of local attorneys.
• Provide our information on  victim’s compensation programs in the United States .
• Provide an emergency loan for repatriation to the United States and/or limited medical support in cases of destitution.
• Help you find accommodation and arrange flights home.
• Replace a stolen or lost passport.

Domestic Violence :  U.S. citizen victims of domestic violence are encouraged to contact the Embassy for assistance. Local law does not specifically address domestic violence, and police generally do not intervene in abusive situations.  

Tourism:  Tourists are considered to be participating in activities at their own risk. Emergency response and subsequent appropriate medical treatment is not easily accessible in-country. U.S. citizens are encouraged to purchase medical evacuation insurance . 

Maritime Security :  Piracy and armed robbery in the Gulf of Guinea continue to trend upwards. Pirates/armed groups operating in the region typically carry out attacks on vessels using automatic weapons. Attacks, kidnappings for ransom, and robbery of crew, passengers, and ship’s property continue to be common occurrences.

Local Laws & Special Circumstances

Criminal Penalties : You are subject to local laws. If you violate local laws, even unknowingly, you may be expelled, arrested, or imprisoned. Individuals establishing a business or practicing a profession that requires additional permits or licensing should seek information from the competent local authorities, prior to practicing or operating a business. The U.S. Embassy will not intervene in private contract or family law disputes in Togo, and you must seek the recourse of the Togolese judicial system, even if you are a U.S. citizen.

Furthermore, some laws are also prosecutable in the United States, regardless of local law. For examples, see our website on  crimes against minors abroad  and the  Department of Justice  website.

Arrest Notification : If you are arrested or detained, ask police or prison officials to notify the U.S. Embassy immediately. See our  webpage  for further information. The Government of Togo may refuse to recognize the U.S. citizenship of dual national Togolese citizens arrested in Togo.   

Faith-Based Travelers : See the following webpages for details:

• Faith-Based Travel Information
• International Religious Freedom Report  – see country reports
• Human Rights Report  – see country reports
• Best Practices for Volunteering Abroad

LGBTI Travelers : Local law forbids “acts against nature committed with an individual of one’s sex,” widely understood to mean same-sex sexual activity. If you are convicted of engaging in consensual same-sex sexual activity, you may be imprisoned and/or fined. However, the U.S. Embassy has not witnessed Togolese prosecutions against U.S. citizens for same-sex activity to date. 

See our  LGBTI Travel Information  page and section 6 of our  Human Rights report  for further details.

Travelers Who Require Accessibility Assistance : The Togolese government does not mandate accessibility to public or private facilities for persons with disabilities, although some buildings may have ramps and wider entrance ways.

Students : See our  Students Abroad  page and  FBI travel tips .

Women Travelers : Women travelling alone are encouraged to take similar precautions as they would in any large U.S. city while in the country. Travel in groups and be extra vigilant after dark, particularly in the beach and central market areas of Lomé.

See our travel tips for  Women Travelers .

Togo no longer requires documentation related to COVID-19 (such as proof of vaccination, negative PCR test, or antigen test when entering or exiting Togo.

However, it is recommended to passengers, when leaving Togo, to verify the current COVID-19 requirements in their destination country to ensure compliance.

Travelers aged 12 and up are encouraged to get vaccinated against COVID-19 and to observe health precautions.

Medical facilities and services in Togo are severely limited, including in the major cities of Lomé and Kara. The standard of care, including basic medical services, such as imaging or blood tests, is much lower than that of the United States and even neighboring Ghana. If you have a recurring or limiting medical condition that requires regular consultation or treatment by a medical professional, you should not travel to Togo.

You should carry adequate supplies of any needed prescription medicines, along with copies of your prescriptions, the generic name of the drugs, and a supply of preferred over-the-counter medications. You may encounter shortages of routine medications, and supplies and counterfeit medications are a frequent problem.

Refer to the CDC website for  health information for travelers to Togo .

For emergency services in Togo, dial:

• Police – 117
• Gendarmerie – 172
• Fire (sapeurs pompiers) – 118
• Main Lomé Hospital Sylvanus Olympio – 22 21 25 01 (most suitable for trauma)
• Embassy’s Duty Officer – 90 25 84 78
• not widely available, and training and availability of emergency responders may be below U.S. standards.
• Injured or seriously ill travelers may prefer to take a taxi or private vehicle to the nearest major hospital rather than wait for an ambulance.

We do not pay medical bills.  Be aware that U.S. Medicare/Medicaid does not apply overseas.  Most hospitals and doctors overseas do not accept U.S. health insurance.

Medical Insurance :  Make sure your health insurance plan provides coverage overseas. Most care providers overseas only accept cash payments. See our webpage for more information on insurance overseas. Visit the  U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention  for more information on type of insurance you should consider before you travel overseas.

We strongly recommend  supplemental insurance  to cover medical evacuation.

Always carry your prescription medication in original packaging, along with your doctor’s prescription. The Togolese government does not maintain a website with prohibited medications, but usually if the medication is legal in France, it is legal in Togo.

Vaccinations :  Be up-to-date on all  vaccinations  recommended by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Further Health Information :

• World Health Organization
• U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention  (CDC)

Health Facilities in General :

• Public medical clinics lack basic resources and supplies.
• Hospitals and doctors require payment “up front” prior to service or admission. Credit card payment is not available.
• Private hospitals usually require advance payment or proof of adequate insurance before admitting a patient.
• Medical staff may speak little or no English.
• Generally in hospitals only minimal staff is available overnight. Consider hiring a private nurse or having family spend the night with the patient, especially a minor child.
• Patients bear all costs for transfer to or between hospitals.
• Psychological and psychiatric services are limited, even in the larger cities, with hospital-based care only available through government institutions.

Pharmaceuticals :

• Exercise caution when purchasing medication overseas. Pharmaceuticals, both over the counter and requiring prescriptions in the United States, are often readily available for purchase with little controls. Counterfeit medication is common and may prove to be ineffective, the wrong strength, or contain dangerous ingredients. Medication should be purchased in consultation with a medical professional and from reputable establishments.
• U.S. Customs and Border Protection and the Food and Drug Administration are responsible for rules governing the transport of medication back to the United States. Medication purchased abroad must meet their requirements to be legally brought back into the United States. Medication should be for personal use and must be approved for usage in the United States. Please visit the  U.S. Customs and Border Protection  and the  Food and Drug Administration  websites for more information. 

Non-Traditional Medicine :

• U.S. citizens have suffered serious complications or died while seeking medical care from non-traditional “healers” and practitioners in Togo. Ensure that you have access to licensed emergency medical facilities in such cases.

Water Quality :

• In many areas, tap water is not potable. Bottled water and beverages are generally safe, although you should be aware that many restaurants and hotels serve tap water unless bottled water is specifically requested. Be aware that ice for drinks may be made using tap water.  
• Do not swim or bathe in or drink fresh or brackish water in streams, rivers, waterfalls, or lakes in Togo. Both Guinea Worm and Schistosomiasis are common in Togo, and contracted primarily through exposure to fresh water, even if the body of water is fast moving or is partially salty.

Adventure Travel :

• Visit the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website for more information about  Adventure Travel .  
• Most adventure travel in Togo involves the ocean – swimming, whale watching, fishing, surfing, and wind surfing. Travelers coming to Togo for ocean-based recreation should use caution when engaging in these activities in a new area. The undertow is extremely strong, particularly from January to May, across the entire Bight of Benin, which includes Ghana, Benin and Togo. Water depths are variable, and water that may appear shallow near the coast can suddenly deepen due to variations in sand or wave formations. Togo has no emergency capability to respond to swimmers in distress, near drownings, or stranded or capsized vessels.

General Health :

The following diseases are prevalent:

• Travelers’ Diarrhea
• Meningococcal Meningitis
• Tuberculosis
• Schistosomiasis
• Use the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) – recommended mosquito repellents, and sleep under insecticide-impregnated mosquito nets. Chemoprophylaxis is recommended for all travelers even for short stays. Travelers should carry their own mosquito repellent according to CDC recommendations. The Embassy cannot guarantee the quality and the side effects of the repellent products available locally.
• Visit the CDC website for more information about  Resources for Travelers  regarding specific issues in Togo.

Air Quality :  Visit  Air Now Department of State  for information on air quality at U.S. embassies and consulates.

The air quality in Togo varies considerably and fluctuates with the seasons.  During the annual harmattan season, when winds blow dust in from the Sahel, followed by a subsequent burn season, when farmers routinely burn their fields, air quality can reach hazardous levels in Togo (Dec- Feb).  Consider the impact seasonal smog and heavy particulate pollution may have on you and consult your doctor before traveling if necessary.

People at the greatest risk from particle pollution exposure include:

• Infants, children, and teens
• People over 65 years of age
• People with lung disease such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), which includes chronic bronchitis and emphysema
• People with heart disease or diabetes
• People who work or are active outdoors

Current air quality data can be found on the Embassy’s Air Quality page . The data on this site are updated hourly.

Medical Tourism and Elective Surgey :

• Visit the  CDC website for information on medical tourism, the risks of medical tourism, and what you can do to prepare before traveling to Togo.

Travel and Transportation

Road Conditions and Safety :  While some major thoroughfares in urban parts of Togo are paved, most secondary streets are not. Streets, especially in Lomé, can become flooded and impassable when it rains. Driving conditions are hazardous throughout Togo due to aggressive and poorly trained drivers who are not licensed and often carry loads in excess of their vehicle’s capacity. The presence of pedestrians, bicyclists, animals on the road, swarms of motorcycles, gaping sewer holes, and deteriorating pavement make driving both inside Lomé and outside particularly hazardous. Overland travel off the main north-south road connecting Lomé to Ouagadougou and east-west road connecting Lomé to Accra and Cotonou are usually unpaved and may require four-wheel drive. Togo also has a mountainous region abutting Ghana with roads that can rise up to an altitude of 500 meters within a few kilometers of driving.

Nighttime travel in Togo is especially dangerous and never recommended, particularly on the main north-south and east-west roads that see heavy semi-truck traffic from neighboring countries day and night. Even when driving in the city, keep car doors locked and the windows up. You should be aware of your surroundings and drive defensively. If you are involved in an accident, do not get out of the car if the vehicle is still drivable; instead, drive to the nearest gendarme or police precinct to report the accident. Tell other individuals involved where you are going so that they may follow. Do not attempt to negotiate the issue of damages or fault on the street without a Togo traffic officer or gendarme present.

Traffic Laws :  Many drivers in Togo do not obey traffic laws, which are rarely enforced. Traffic signals often do not function properly or are missing from major intersections. If you choose to drive in Togo, you should observe someone else drive beforehand in order to familiarize yourself with atypical driving practices, including stopping prior to entering a traffic circle.  You should be prepared for drivers who run red lights and stop signs or drive in the wrong direction on one-way streets. Driving can be chaotic, particularly in the crowded city center and in the dense neighborhoods along the Ghanaian border.

At official checkpoints, Togolese security officials prefer that you approach with your interior light on, headlights dimmed, and have your driver’s license, registration, and proof of insurance ready. You should carry copies of important documents, such as your passport and driver’s license, to provide to authorities rather than handing over your originals. You should never pay a bribe to the police or gendarmes for them to perform their work or to be released. Be firm and polite, and ask for permission to drive with the officer who is making the traffic stop, or trail their vehicle or motorbike, to the nearest police precinct if a resolution cannot be reached on the street. Do not let the officer enter your vehicle.

Public Transportation :  Safety standards for small, private buses and taxis are substandard. You should exercise caution when using any form of local public transportation, and avoid motorcycle-taxis when possible. Never get into a taxi with unknown passengers, and always agree on the fare before getting into the car.

See our  Road Safety page  for more information.

Aviation Safety Oversight :  As there is no direct commercial air service to the United States by carriers registered in Togo, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has not assessed the government of Togo’s Civil Aviation Authority for compliance with International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) aviation safety standards. Further information may be found on the  FAA’s safety assessment page .

Maritime Travel :  Mariners planning travel to Togo should also check for  U.S. maritime advisories and alerts . Information may also be posted to the  U.S. Coast Guard homeport website , and the  NGA broadcast warnings .

Togo launches e-visa

(Togo First) - Togo is launching its electronic visa (e-Visa), a new version of its national travel platform ( https://voyage.gouv.tg ).

"From now on, anyone wishing to enter or leave Togo must first visit https://voyage.gouv.tg ," wrote in a joint note, Ministers Yark Damehame, and Cina Lawson, respectively in charge of security and digital transformation.

The website enables people to fill out their immigration form (mandatory for all entry and exit of the territory), apply for a visa for nationals of a country for which entry into Togo requires a visa, and declare their vaccination status and/or register to take a PCR COVID-19 test, for those who have not been vaccinated.

The platform was initially launched almost 2 years ago, on August 03, 2020. Its new version, which has just been deployed, integrates all immigration formalities that a traveler entering or leaving the territory must complete, including visa application and health information.

The portal ( https://voyage.gouv.tg ) provides several features such as a "Visa Wizard", which allows incoming travelers to know if they need a visa to travel to Togo. It also offers the traveler the possibility to create an individual account with a password; on this account, personal information such as names, contact details, passport numbers, etc., can be saved to avoid having to fill this information again for each trip.

It should be noted that the platform and the accompanying devices currently in place at air borders will be gradually extended to land and sea borders during this year 2022, according to public authorities.

These updates come a few months after the government announced (in February 2022) its intention to digitalize the process of applying for and issuing visas and residence permits for foreigners.

Visa duration and conditions

The on arrival visa for Togo typically grants a stay of 7 to 90 days for tourism or business purposes.

Togo visa policy.

Togo has a comprehensive visa policy that regulates the entry of foreign nationals. Under current legislation, any foreigner coming to Togo must hold a visa unless they are from a visa-exempt country. Visas are issued by the country’s diplomatic missions abroad and take a few weeks to process.

The government of Togo has a visa-exempt policy for visitors from selected countries who don’t need visas to enter the country. Being a West African country and a member of Ecowas, most countries on the visa-exempt list are members of the sub-regional body. The visa exemption also covers service and diplomatic passport holders of China, including public affairs passport holders of Russia and Moscow.

If you are from any of the visa-exempt countries, you don’t need a visa to visit Togo for a short-term trip. Such visits, however, can only last for 90 days, but any trip that will last longer will require a visa.

Visa On Arrival

There is a visa-on-arrival arrangement for selected nationalities who can apply for a q visa at the entry point and stay for up to 7 days as long as they have a return or onward ticket for their journey out of the country. This visa is available to most visitors, excluding citizens of Mauritania who are not issued arrival visas. Furthermore, arrival visas can be extended for up to 90 days if the visitor decides to stay for that long.

How To Apply For A Togolese Visa

To apply for a Togolese visa, you have two options. You visit the embassy or apply for it once you arrive at any approved entry points. For the first option, you must submit your application outside the country to any of the diplomatic missions abroad. The embassy or consulate will take time to process your application after receiving your documents or application fee, which can take up to three weeks. Once approved, the visa will be released, and you can make the trip.

The other option is the visa on arrival, which will require your valid passport, an application fee, and a return or onward ticket. Arrival visas are issued on the spot.

Remember that if you are from a visa-exempt country, you don’t need to follow these procedures to land a visa unless you wish to stay longer than 90 days. In that case, you will need to apply to a foreign mission for a visa.

Key Information About Togo and Other Travel

If you are planning a trip to Togo, here are a few travel advisories to bear in mind.

Security and Safety:  While most of the land borders with Togo are largely safe, the border with Burkina Faso is replete with robberies and kidnappings. Extremist groups operating in the Southwest of Burkina Faso have infiltrated that area of the border. These groups are rumored to carry out attacks and kidnappings, leading to increased military operations by both governments. Due to the volatile situation in these parts, it is what to avoid land trips in those areas if you choose land travel.

Crimes:  As is the case with densely populated cities, petty crimes are common in Togo, especially in the capital city of Lome. Pickpocketing is rife in markets and beaches, so be careful when you are out and about. Conceal valuables, including passports and jewelry, at all times in public. Furthermore, violent crimes like armed carjacking, assaults, and robberies are not uncommon, so remain vigilant and don’t visit isolated areas or places you are unfamiliar with at night. In case you are a victim of a robbery, do not resist.

Demonstrations:  Political demonstrations are common in Togo, with many starting as peaceful and then turning violent over time as the police get involved. Avoid such centers to avoid becoming a casualty of clashes between demonstrators and security forces. Always monitor local news before leaving your home for any outdoor engagement.

Terrorism: Unlike some of its Wear African counterparts, Togo has had fewer cases of terrorist attacks, but they have occurred in the past, so you need to be mindful

 Targets could be government buildings and schools, places of worship, public areas like hotels, restaurants, tourist attractions, and areas frequented by expats. Always be aware of your surroundings.

Culture:  Togo is a conservative society like most other African countries and is a combination of animist and Western religions. You are advised to respect the culture of the people. Togolese society still maintains a strong conservative culture despite adopting a significant measure of Western standards and trends. While you are free to wear what you like at the beach dressing provocatively on a normal day is frowned upon, especially by older people. Younger people are expected to show their elders respect by greeting them with their heads bowed.

Visa Application Timeframe:  The time it will take to process your application cannot be predicted because different embassies take longer to approve applications than others. Some visas may be released within a week, while others may take up to 3 weeks or more. If you wish to avoid unnecessary delays, we advise that you submit your application much earlier than your planned travel date.

Proof of Funds:   Proof of funds is one of the visa requirements to show that you have the financial capacity to cover your travel and living expenses in Togo. This can be shown in documentary form, such as a statement of account. The statement must contain a minimum account balance, a combination of daily amounts multiplied by the number of days you plan to stay in the country.

Confirmed Flight Ticket:  All transit visitors are required to have a flight ticket before they arrive in Togo, not after they arrive. Border security officers will demand tickets for their next flight when they land at the airport. Furthermore, the flight ticket must have matching dates with what is on their transit visas to show proof that they have every intention to show that they will indeed leave the country on the day they claim.

Application Fee:  The application fee for the visa will be collected by the embassy alongside the form and other documents. The fee is meant for document processing, without which the embassy will not collect your documents.

Overstaying:   Foreigners who overstay their visas would have broken the immigration law, which will attract sanctions. Sanctions come in different forms, like fines, temporary bans, deportation, or jail time in the worst cases. Be reminded of your visa’s expiration date and plan your trip accordingly. If you need more time to conclude your business, you should visit the nearest immigration department to apply for an extension of your visa at least a week or two before it expires. This way, you will not be stranded in the country on an expired visa.

European Union adopts more favourable Schengen visa rules for Indians

Indian Nationals can now apply for a multiple entry Schengen visa with longer validity

On 18 April 2024, the European Commission adopted specific rules on the issuing of multiple entry visas to Indian nationals, which are more favourable than the standard rules of the Visa Code that applied to date. This new visa ‘cascade’ regime for Indian nationals residing in India who apply for Schengen (short-stay) visas in India will provide easier access to visas with multi-year validity for travellers with an established travel history, if the passport validity allows. 

According to the newly adopted visa “cascade” regime for India, Indian nationals can now be issued long-term, multi-entry Schengen visas valid for two years after having obtained and lawfully used two visas within the previous three years. The two-year visa will normally be followed by a five-year visa, if the passport has sufficient validity remaining. During the validity period of these visas, holders enjoy travel rights equivalent to visa-free nationals.

This decision comes in the context of strengthened relations under the EU-India Common Agenda on Migration and Mobility, which seeks comprehensive cooperation on migration policy between the EU and India, with facilitation of people-to-people contacts being of key aspect due to the importance of India as a partner for the EU. 

Schengen visas allow the holder to travel freely in the Schengen area for short stays of a maximum of 90 days in any 180-day period. The visas are not purpose-bound, but they do not grant the right to work. The Schengen area consists of 29 European countries (of which 25 are EU states): Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Germany, Estonia, Greece, Spain, France, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Hungary, Malta, Netherlands, Austria, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovenia, Slovakia, Finland and Sweden, along with Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland.
