Foreign travel advice

Togo

Warning FCDO advises against all travel to parts of Togo.

Entry requirements

This information is for people travelling on a full ‘British citizen’ passport from the UK. It is based on the UK government’s understanding of the current rules for the most common types of travel. 

The authorities in Togo set and enforce entry rules. If you’re not sure how these requirements apply to you, contact the Togolese High Commission in the UK.

COVID-19 rules

There are no COVID-19 testing or vaccination requirements for travellers entering Togo.

Passport validity requirements

Your passport must have an ‘expiry date’ at least 3 months after the date you plan to leave Togo.

If you’re a resident in Togo, your passport must be valid for 6 months from the date you arrive.

Check with your travel provider that your passport and other travel documents meet requirements. Renew your passport if you need to.

You will be denied entry if you do not have a valid travel document or try to use a passport that has been reported lost or stolen.

Visa requirements

You must have a visa to visit Togo. A single-entry tourist visa is valid for 15 days. You must apply for a visa at least 6 days before you plan to arrive in the country. You cannot get a visa on arrival.

To stay longer (or to work or study, for business travel or for other reasons), you must meet the Togolese government’s entry requirements.
