Myanmar passport holders need an eVisa to enter Togo. The entire process is online: apply before you travel, receive approval by email, and present the printed confirmation at Lomé–Gnassingbé Eyadéma International Airport. As of 2026, there is no visa-on-arrival option for Myanmar nationals.

Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| eVisa application Apply for Togo eVisa | Apply at evisa.gouv.tg before you fly. The eVisa is valid for single entry and allows stays up to 30 days. Processing takes 2–3 business days — do not book flights until you have the approval email.Apply for eVisa | Required |
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of stay | Your passport needs at least 6 months of remaining validity from your date of entry into Togo. Airlines check this at check-in — if your passport expires sooner, you will be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Togo | Immigration officers routinely ask for a confirmed onward or return ticket. A printed itinerary or e-ticket showing your departure within the eVisa validity period works. Without it, you may be refused entry. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Have a printed hotel reservation or a letter from your host with their address and phone number. Officers rarely ask, but if you cannot show where you are staying, they can deny entry. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself | Carry cash (Euros or CFA francs) or a bank statement showing at least 200,000 CFA (~€300) for a short stay. Immigration may ask how you plan to pay for your trip — have a clear answer ready. | Recommended |
Yellow fever vaccination is mandatory
Togo requires proof of yellow fever vaccination for all travellers over 1 year old. Without the yellow card, you may be denied entry or forced to get vaccinated on arrival (and possibly fined). Get the shot at least 10 days before travel.
Print everything — digital copies may not be accepted
Immigration officers at Lomé Airport expect physical documents. Print your eVisa confirmation, return ticket, and hotel booking. A screenshot on your phone is not a reliable backup.
