Brazilian passport holders need an eVisa to enter Togo. The process is entirely online and straightforward — apply before you travel. As of 2026, the eVisa is valid for tourism and short business visits.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| eVisa application Apply online before travel | Apply for your Togo eVisa at the official government portal at least 5 business days before departure. The eVisa costs around 50,000 CFA francs (~$85 USD) and is valid for a single entry up to 15 days. Print the approval letter and carry it with your passport — immigration at Lomé Airport will stamp you in.Apply for eVisa | Required |
| Valid passport Must be valid for entire stay | Your Brazilian passport must be valid for at least the full duration of your stay in Togo. Airlines at GRU or GIG will check this before boarding — if your passport expires before you leave Togo, you will be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Togo | Immigration at Lomé Airport routinely asks for a confirmed onward or return ticket. Have a printed or digital copy ready — a flight booking to Accra, Paris, or back to Brazil works. Without it, you may be refused entry. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | 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. A simple Booking.com confirmation is fine. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself | Have a bank statement or credit card showing access to at least 500,000 CFA francs (~$850 USD) for a short stay. Immigration rarely checks this for Brazilian passport holders, but it is safer to have a printout. | Recommended |
Yellow fever vaccine is mandatory
You must have a yellow fever vaccination and carry the yellow card. Immigration at Lomé Airport checks this. Without it, you could be denied entry or forced to get vaccinated on the spot.
Apply for the eVisa early
Processing can take up to 5 business days, and there's no rush service. Apply at least 10 days before your flight to avoid stress.
What happens at the border
1
Apply for the eVisa online
Go to the official Togolese eVisa website (evisa.gouv.tg). Fill in your personal and passport details, upload a passport photo, and pay the fee. Processing usually takes 2–5 business days.
2
Receive and print your eVisa
Once approved, you'll get an email with your eVisa PDF. Print a copy and also save it on your phone. You'll need to show it at check-in and on arrival in Lomé.

After landing, go to immigration. Present your passport, printed eVisa, and return ticket. They may ask for your accommodation address. The process is usually quick — 10–20 minutes.
