›Can Togo passport holders enter Grenada?
Togo passport holders require a visa to enter Grenada. This means you will need to obtain a short-stay entry visa from the Grenada consulate in your country before you can arrive and apply for the digital nomad visa. Factor in consulate processing time (typically 2–6 weeks) on top of the digital nomad visa timeline. Some togo applicants apply for the digital nomad visa directly at the consulate without entering first — check the Grenada embassy website for current guidance.
›Requirements for Togo passport holders
The Digital Nomad Visa assesses all applicants on the same criteria regardless of nationality. Togo citizens can apply provided they meet the following requirements:
- Income: $37,000/year — proven via 3–6 months bank statements
- Remote work proof: Employment contract, freelance agreements, or client letters confirming you work for non-Grenada entities
- Health insurance: health insurance required
- Clean background: Police clearance from Togo (apostilled if required by Grenada)
- Valid passport: Togo passport valid for at least 6 months beyond your intended stay
- Accommodation proof: Rental agreement, hotel booking, or property documents in Grenada
Important: Documents not in Grenada's official language or English must be certified translated. Togo applicants should confirm apostille requirements for documents issued in Togo.
›How Togo citizens apply — step by step
- Gather documentation. Collect 3–6 months of bank statements showing consistent income above the threshold, employment contracts or freelance agreements, valid Togo passport (6+ months validity), international health insurance certificate, and a police clearance certificate.
- Authenticate documents. Check whether Grenada requires apostille stamps on Togo-issued documents. Arrange certified translations for any documents not in the local language or English. This step can take 2–6 weeks — start early.
- Check entry requirements. Verify whether Togo citizens can enter Grenada visa-free or need a short-stay visa before applying for the digital nomad visa. Check the Grenada embassy website for current entry requirements for Togo passport holders.
- Submit your application. Apply through the official Grenada government portal. Some programs accept online applications; others require in-person submission at a consulate.
- Await approval and enter. Once approved, book travel and confirm your health insurance is active from day one. Register with local immigration if required within the first 30 days of arrival in Grenada.
›Tax treatment for Togo digital nomad visa holders
Tax obligations for Togo citizens on the Digital Nomad Visa depend on your residency status and duration of stay. Most digital nomad visa holders are not considered tax residents in Grenada if their income originates abroad — but this is not guaranteed.
Extended stays (typically 183+ days in a calendar year) may trigger local tax residency. As a Togo citizen, you must also consider your home country's worldwide income reporting requirements and any bilateral tax treaty between Togo and Grenada.
Always consult a tax professional who understands both Togo and Grenada tax law before committing to an extended stay.
›Common mistakes Togo applicants make
Weak or inconsistent income documentation
Depositing a lump sum right before applying won't work. Grenada immigration officials want to see consistent income above the threshold over 3–6 months. Sporadic freelance payments or transfers from family members don't qualify. Start maintaining clean financial records as early as possible.
Missing apostille or translation requirements
Togo applicants often underestimate authentication requirements. Togo-issued documents — including bank letters, employment contracts, and police certificates — may need apostille stamps and certified translations. This process can take weeks. Budget for it early.
Not confirming entry eligibility before booking travel
Togo passport holders may need a short-stay visa to enter Grenada before their digital nomad visa is approved. Confirm entry requirements with the Grenada embassy before booking any flights. Entry eligibility and DNV eligibility are separate questions.
