International tourists can now apply for an electronic visa (e-Visa) to visit Chad. Introducing this new online visa system.
A new African country has taken a significant step towards administrative modernization and international openness with the introduction of an electronic visa system (e-Visa): Chad.
The country officially launched its “eVisa.td” portal today at a ceremony held at the Direction Nationale de la Police in N’Djamena and presided over by the 5th Republic’s Minister of State, Minister of Finance, Budget, Economy and Planning, Tahir Hamid Nguilin.
The e-visa is designed to modernize and simplify the visa application process for foreigners wishing to visit Chad. By introducing this digital tool, the Chadian government is reaffirming its commitment to the digital transformation of its public services.
How to apply for an electronic visa (e-Visa) to travel to Chad?
The “eVisa.td” platform (only available in French) enables travelers requiring an entry visa to Chad to submit their application online, pay the corresponding fees and receive their visa electronically.
After creating a user account, the e-visa applicant completes an online form, including questions about passport, contact details, occupation and travel information.
Visitors applying for an e-Visa can choose to stay in Chad for a variety of reasons: tourism, business, conference, study, family visit or transit.
When applying for an e-Visa, a few documents need to be inserted online, such as a copy of the passport, proof of accommodation during the stay, the plane ticket or proof of funds.
The price of a short-stay, multiple-entry eVisa valid for 90 days is €100. At the time of writing, the online payment system is not yet operational, but will be shortly.
