Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| eVisa application Apply before travel | Apply for a Togo eVisa at the official portal before departure. The eVisa is valid for single entry and allows stays up to 15 days — longer stays require a different visa type. Processing takes 2–3 business days, so apply at least a week ahead.Apply for eVisa | Required |
| Valid passport Must cover your stay | Your Czech passport must be valid for at least the duration of your stay in Togo. Airlines at Prague and connecting hubs check this before boarding. No minimum validity beyond departure is required by Togolese law. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Required for entry | Immigration officers at Lomé–Tokoin Airport ask for a return or onward ticket before stamping you in. Budget airlines from Europe also check this at check-in. Have a printed or digital copy ready. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Recommended | Hotel booking or host invitation letter helps at immigration, especially if you arrive without a clear itinerary. Officers occasionally ask for the address you'll stay at. A simple booking confirmation works. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Recommended | Carry cash (EUR or USD) or a card that works in Togo — ATMs are scarce outside Lomé. Immigration rarely asks, but having around €300–€500 for a short trip covers any questions about your ability to support yourself. | Recommended |
Yellow fever vaccine is mandatory
You must have your yellow fever vaccination certificate (Yellow Card) ready at immigration. Without it, you may be vaccinated on the spot or denied entry.
