Luxembourg passport holders need an eVisa to enter Togo. Apply online before you travel; approval usually takes a few days. As of 2026, the process is straightforward, but you'll need a few documents ready.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| eVisa application Apply before travel | Apply for your Togo eVisa at the official government portal. Processing takes 2–3 business days. Print the approval email and carry it with your passport — immigration at Lomé Airport checks it before issuing the entry stamp.Apply for eVisa | Required |
| Valid passport Must cover entire stay | Your Luxembourg passport needs at least one blank page for the entry stamp. Togo does not enforce a strict 6-month validity rule, but your passport must be valid for the full duration of your stay. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure | Immigration at Lomé Airport routinely asks for a confirmed onward or return ticket. Have a printed copy or a screenshot ready on your phone. Airlines also check this before boarding. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Carry a printed hotel reservation or a letter of invitation from your host in Togo. Immigration officers occasionally ask for it, especially if you arrive without a clear itinerary. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself | Have a bank statement or cash equivalent to roughly 200,000 CFA (~€305) available. Officers rarely ask, but it helps if you're staying longer than a week or arriving without a return ticket. | Recommended |
Yellow fever vaccine required
You must have a yellow fever vaccination and carry the yellow card. Without it, you may be denied entry or forced to get vaccinated at the airport (which costs time and money).
eVisa is the only option
There is no visa on arrival for Luxembourg passport holders. Apply online at evisa.gouv.tg at least a week before your trip.
