Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| eVisa application Togo eVisa | Apply online 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 non-refundable flights until approved.Apply for eVisa | Required |
| Valid passport 6 months validity required | Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your intended departure date from Togo. Airlines check this at check-in — if your passport expires sooner, you will be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of onward travel | Immigration officers at Lomé–Tokoin Airport routinely ask for a return or onward ticket. Have a printed or digital copy ready — they may also check that your onward flight is within the eVisa's validity period. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Carry a hotel confirmation or a letter of invitation from your host in Togo. Immigration may ask for it during entry questioning — a printed copy is safer than showing a phone screen. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Sufficient cash or card | Have at least 200,000 CFA francs (about €305) in cash or a credit card with available balance. Immigration rarely checks, but if they do, you need to show you can cover your stay without working. | Recommended |
Yellow fever vaccine is mandatory
Togo requires proof of yellow fever vaccination for all travellers. Without the yellow card, you may be denied entry or forced to get vaccinated at the airport (and possibly fined). Get the shot at least 10 days before you fly.
eVisa is the only option
There is no visa-on-arrival or visa-free entry for Mongolian passport holders. You must have an approved eVisa before you board your flight to Togo.
