Cyprus passport holders need an eVisa to enter Togo. The application is online and straightforward — you apply before you travel, and approval usually comes within a few days. As of 2026, this is the only way to get a visa for Togo.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| E-VisaYou need to apply and pay for an electronic visa before your trip; it is not available on arrival. Apply before travel | Cyprus passport holders must obtain an e-Visa prior to arrival in Togo. Apply online through the official Togolese e-Visa portal. The visa is valid for a single entry. | Required |
| Passport validityIf your passport expires within 6 months of your arrival, you may be denied entry. 6 months beyond intended stay | Your Cyprus passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the date of entry into Togo. | Required |
| Blank passport pagesThe blank page must be a visa page, not an endorsement page. At least 1 page | Your passport must contain at least one blank visa page for entry stamps. | Required |
| Return or onward ticketWhile not always checked, having a confirmed onward ticket helps avoid issues at immigration. Proof of departure | You may be asked to show a return or onward flight ticket upon arrival in Togo. | Recommended |
| Proof of sufficient fundsCarry cash (CFA francs) or a bank statement showing you can support yourself. For duration of stay | Immigration officials may request evidence of sufficient funds to cover your stay in Togo. No specific minimum amount is published. | Recommended |
| Yellow fever vaccinationGet vaccinated at least 10 days before travel and carry the International Certificate of Vaccination. Certificate required | All travelers arriving in Togo must present a valid yellow fever vaccination certificate. This is a mandatory health requirement. | Required |
| Arrival declarationYou do not need to submit any pre-arrival health or customs declaration. Not required | No arrival declaration form is required for Cyprus passport holders entering Togo. | Not required |
Yellow fever vaccine is mandatory
You must show your yellow fever vaccination card (yellow card) at immigration in Lomé. No card = possible denial of entry or a forced vaccination at the airport (which costs money and time). Get the shot at least 10 days before you fly.
Keep digital copies of everything
Save your eVisa PDF, passport photo, and return ticket to your phone and email. If you lose the printed copy, you can show the digital version at immigration.
