VTE (Visa Touriste Entente) - route and # of entries experience?? quick help please
VTE visa i've read is supposed to permit travel 60 days, within only the 5 countries, 1 entry per country.... but i have read some post pre-2012 that mention experience.of entering the countries twice and of going outside the 5 countries and re-entering and still using the visa.

Planning to get my VTE in BF in next couple of days.

My questions:to help choose among the following routes:

1. CI (north towns only) -> BF(using the VTE) --> Niger --> Benin --> Togo --> Ghana (then Togo - Benin-Nigeria , Cameroon, etc south )

Would i need to pay again to enter Benin and Togo?
Where do they put the entry & exit stamps (separate page or on top of the VTE visa)?

I'm making a new passport in Ghana.


2. CI --> Ghana -->Togo--> Benin --> Niger

Can i still use the VTE visa (practical experience vs what is written) to enter Togo - Benin - Niger?
I suppose the onlt problem oint would be Ghana to Togo as border patrol usually looks only at one country coming from vs whole route


Thanks for quick responses.

We tried to get a VTE in BF in 2009 & were told that it no longer existed.

VTE exists/available in Ouaga (Direction of National Police - photo with sign "VTE" available if u want; and Niger) with conditions:

1. Countries -- app form asks which of the 5 countries -- check mark all of them

2. Timeframe - 60 days

3. # of entries per country - 1

4. can u go outside the 5-VTE-country zone and return to a new/not visted yet on the VTE visa country? Yes... i asked this question several times and used examples of routes -- answer was yes
