Apply online for an e-Visa on evisa.td
RequiredChad's immigration directorate says every new visa application now has to be made online on its official e-Visa platform, evisa.td (diplomatic and courtesy visas stay with the Foreign Ministry). This has been the only way to apply since 11 May 2026. Its notice says a visa issued outside the platform after 21 May 2026 is treated as invalid and doesn't allow entry, and that manual entry authorisations are permanently abolished. The platform covers all visa categories under a new fee schedule set by a 2026 joint order.

Start, pay and track your application
RequiredThe portal's four steps are: start the application (with your email address, passport number and passport expiry date), fill in the form, pay, then follow your application using its reference number. The site is in French, and its legal notice says only the French text is authoritative.

Valid passport
RequiredYou need a valid passport. The portal asks for a colour digital copy (PDF or image) of the photo page when you apply, and its shared list of documents also mentions a copy of all the passport's pages. It doesn't state how long the passport must stay valid after your trip.

Visa-style photo
A recent colour ID photo in visa style (JPEG or PDF) is on the portal's list of documents to prepare. The list doesn't say which visa types need it.

Proof of funds or income
The portal's list includes proof of funds or proof of income, such as bank statements. It doesn't say which visa types need it or how much money is expected.

Other
Fee amount, validity and permitted stay aren't published
This is a gap in what the portal publishes. The pages we could read don't state the e-Visa's fee, how long it is valid, how long you may stay or how many entries it allows. Fees and visa categories come from a 2026 joint order that we couldn't find, so check these details on the portal before you pay.

The portal's document list isn't split by visa purpose
This is a gap in what the portal publishes. Its public pages give one shared list of documents to prepare for every kind of visa, without saying which apply to a tourist visa. The list also names items such as a work contract, an NGO agreement with the State of Chad, a mission order, company tax and administrative documents, a host organisation's documents, proof of profession, a residence card of the 'host country' (its wording), and your last visa (for extending a stay). The items above marked as not mandatory may or may not be asked for in a tourist application, so check what the application form asks for.

Why applications on this route get refused
Visa not issued through evisa.td
Chad's immigration directorate says that after 21 May 2026 any visa issued outside the evisa.td platform is treated as invalid and doesn't allow entry. Visas properly issued before the change stay valid until they expire.
How to avoid it: Apply on evisa.td itself, and don't rely on a visa issued anywhere else after that date.
Mistakes you can't correct after the e-Visa is issued
The portal says an e-Visa is issued automatically and can't be modified once it has been issued, and that refunds aren't possible.
How to avoid it: Re-read the whole form before you submit it and pay, as the portal itself advises.
No yellow fever vaccination certificate at arrival
The portal says immigration services check your yellow fever vaccination certificate when you arrive. It doesn't say what happens if you can't show one.
How to avoid it: Carry your yellow fever vaccination certificate with you when you travel.
