Which family relationships qualify?

The family reunification immigration visa (“visa d’immigration”) expressly covers the spouse and descendants of a foreigner who is eligible for a Togolese residence card; Article 21 of Decree 2022-050 sets the qualifying relationships as spouses (“conjoints”) and descendants (“descendants”) of that eligible foreigner.

Who may sponsor or bring the family member, and what immigration/citizenship status must that person hold?

The sponsor is the foreign family member already residing in Togo who is eligible for (or holds) a residence card; for a family-reunification immigration-visa application, the applicant must submit an invitation letter together with a copy of that sponsoring parent's own residence permit (titre de séjour), when the sponsor is themselves a foreign national.

What is important for proving marriage, partnership, parentage, custody, dependency or another qualifying relationship?

The application must be accompanied by an invitation letter and a copy of the sponsoring parent's residence permit, which together evidence the family link and the sponsor's status. The official decree text does not itself enumerate civil-status documents (such as a marriage or birth certificate) as proof of the underlying marital or parent-child relationship.

Limits of the record
  • The captured decree text does not enumerate civil-status documents (marriage certificate, birth certificate, etc.) required to prove the marital or parent-child relationship itself, beyond the invitation letter and the sponsor's residence-permit copy.

What important financial, accommodation, insurance or maintenance responsibilities apply?

Spouses and descendants admitted under this visa are subject to the same residence obligations as the sponsoring foreigner (financial-resource and card-formality obligations), except that minor children are expressly exempted from having to present a bank statement, an account statement or a credit card, and from tax clearance certificates.

How does the application work at a high level, what rights does the family member receive, how long does the status last, and how can it become independent or longer-term where officially stated?

Once admitted, the family-reunification visa holder must complete the same residence-card formalities as any immigration-visa holder (temporary/ordinary/privileged card tiers). The official decree text does not state a family-member-specific rule for how or when this status becomes independent of the sponsor or progresses to a longer-term status. The official source does not state the rights or duration of the status.

Limits of the record
  • The capture does not state a family-member-specific independence or long-term-progression rule distinct from the general residence-card regime that applies to any visa d'immigration holder.
