Overview

Chad public official sources reviewed for this packet support eVisa entry, exemption checks and extension direction through the official eVisa portal, but do not expose a complete public residence or work-permit corpus. This is lite coverage until deeper official residence and employment sources are verified. The eVisa Chad FAQ says that if an eVisa expires during a stay in Chad, the traveller should approach the Direction of Emigration and Immigration to extend it. The portal does not expose a full public extension checklist in the reviewed text, so users should treat this as extension direction, not a complete residence route.
