According to a representative of the Embassy of Togo in Ottawa, because both Ghana and Togo are members of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), a Ghanaian national will be allowed to stay in Togo without a visa for a period of 90 days (3 Feb. 1992). The Ghanaian national, however, will have to provide an identification document, usually a passport (Ibid.). If this person goes back to Ghana and then comes back to Togo, he or she will be allowed to stay for another period of 90 days (Ibid.). After the end of the 90-day period, the person will have to report to the "Sécurité Nationale" (Ministry of the Interior), request a resident visa, and provide reasons why he or she desires to remain in Togo (Ibid.).

According to the Embassy of Ghana in Washington, there is no need for a visa when a Ghanaian national travels to Togo since both countries are members of ECOWAS (3 Feb. 1992). This information is confirmed by a representative of the Organization of African Unity (OAU) in New York (3 Feb. 1992).
