Chaired by <strong>Tahir Hamid Nguilin<\/strong>Minister of State for Finance, the Budget, the Economy and Planning, this ceremony marks a turning point in the country's administrative history. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chad thus joins the still restricted circle of nations that have adopted this technology, ranking 26th worldwide in this field.

Travelers requiring a visa can now apply online, pay the fee and receive their visa electronically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>The government recommends applying between 90 and 7 days before arrival in Chad.<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The online form requires standard information such as passport details, personal contact details, occupation and details of the planned stay. Travelers must also specify the purpose of their visit, whether tourism, business, study or a family visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which nationalities are eligible for a Chad e-Visa?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Virtually every country in the world requires a visa for Chad<\/strong>apart from a few border or nearby nationalities: <em>Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Republic of Congo, C\u00f4te d'Ivoire, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, Nigeria, Rwanda, Senegal, Togo and the United Arab Emirates.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This technological advance is no accident. It is part of a broader strategy of modernization driven by the President <strong>Mahamat Idriss D\u00e9by Itno<\/strong>. Minister Tahir Hamid Nguilin underlined the importance of this achievement: \".<em>This testifies to Marshal Mahamat Idriss D\u00e9by Itno's commitment to the digitalization of our public services, which is now a concrete reality supported by the government.<\/em>\u201c.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A springboard for development<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The introduction of e-Visa is just one piece of a larger puzzle. Chad has just launched the Digital Transformation Support Project (Projet d'appui \u00e0 la transformation num\u00e9rique - PATN), backed by substantial funding from the World Bank to the tune of 76.45 billion CFA francs. This ambitious project aims to reduce the digital divide, improve connectivity and facilitate access to digital public services throughout the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite the general enthusiasm, a number of challenges remain. At the time of launch, the online payment system was not yet fully operational, a situation that is set to change rapidly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"entry-content-asset\"><iframe title=\"MINISTRY OF FINANCE - Launch of new E-VISA electronic visa platform\" width=\"1156\" height=\"650\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/7Xq0jB339Ac?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Chad's tourist assets<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The country abounds in undiscovered natural and cultural treasures.
