UAS Regulations

In Togo, there is no official regulation governing the use of drones. Nonetheless drone operators can obtain 3 to 6 month permits from the Ministry of Defence.

The website of the Agence Nationale de l’Aviation Civile (ANAC) was last checked in April 2016 and July 2017. Last update done by G. Rambaldi on 25 April 2019, and the website was checked for changes by D. Guerin in May 2020. 

Additionally, an operator provided feedback in October 2019 on the process for obtaining approval and there are no regulations related to applying for authorisation.
