| Valid passport Must cover your entire stay | Your passport must be valid for at least the duration of your stay in Togo. Airlines at departure may enforce a 6-month validity rule — check with your carrier before flying. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Show proof of departure | Immigration officers at Lomé–Tokoin Airport routinely ask for a return or onward ticket. Have a printed or digital copy ready — they check this before stamping you in. | Required |

| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself | Have a bank statement or cash equivalent to roughly $500–$1,000 for a short trip. Immigration may ask if you look under-resourced. | Recommended |
Yellow fever vaccine required
You must show a valid yellow fever vaccination certificate (yellow card) at immigration. Without it, you may be denied entry or forced to get vaccinated on the spot at your own expense.
eVisa is digital — but print it
The eVisa is linked to your passport electronically, but always carry a printed copy. Phone screens can die or fail, and immigration officers prefer paper.
