How long you wait for a visa for Chad
Both visas from our catalogue are issued by the Embassy of Chad in Berlin (Lepsiusstraße 114). Each is single-entry and allows a stay of up to 30 days.
Chad: tourist visa: in as little as 18 days.
Chad: business visa: in as little as 18 days.
You choose the service package: Standard (9 working days on our side) or Premium (3 days). The embassy states that processing itself takes at least 1–2 weeks, so please send your passport well in advance.
What else the embassy requires
Invitation. For a business visa, from a company in Chad, on company letterhead, with your details, purpose and dates of the visit. The embassy also accepts an invitation from a travel agency, organisation or private individual, together with accommodation confirmation.
Tourist voucher for a tourist visa, i.e. a document from a travel agency in Chad.
Yellow fever vaccination. The embassy requires proof of vaccination upon entry, so please take your yellow vaccination booklet.
Two application forms completed online on the website indicated by the embassy, printed and signed.
What to watch out for when assembling your documents
A handwritten application form does not meet the requirement. You complete it on a computer and only then print it.
An invitation without travel dates or without the invited person’s details will need to be corrected by the sender in Chad, which prolongs the process.
Your passport must be biometric, valid for at least 180 days after the end of your trip and have blank pages available.
Photos must be in colour, on a light background, preferably no older than 6 months.
Additional questions about a visa for Chad
Is a tourist visa sufficient for a meeting with a business partner?
No. For meetings, conferences and trade fairs, you should choose a business visa. The fee is the same, the document set is different: instead of a tourist voucher you attach an invitation from a company in Chad and a hotel reservation.
Do I have to register after arrival?
Yes, if you stay longer than 72 hours. You report to the police at Commissariat Central and take a passport photo with you.
Can they ask for anything else at the border?
Yes. The authorities may ask for a return ticket or proof that you have funds to leave the country.
Can I enter Chad by car?
Yes, but in addition to a visa you need a driving licence, vehicle registration certificate, international insurance card and a permit for vehicle entry, which is issued by the customs authorities at the border.
