| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Carry a printed hotel reservation or a letter of invitation from your host in Togo. Immigration may ask where you're staying, especially if you arrive without a pre-booked hotel. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show sufficient cash or card | Have at least 200,000 CFA francs (about 5,000,000 IDR) in cash or a credit card with available balance. Immigration rarely checks, but if asked, you need to show you can cover your stay. | Recommended |
Yellow fever vaccine is mandatory
You must carry your Yellow Card (vaccination certificate) when entering Togo. Without it, you risk being vaccinated at the airport or denied entry. Get the shot at least 10 days before travel.
No visa on arrival for Indonesian passports
Unlike some other nationalities, Indonesian citizens cannot get a visa on arrival at Lomé Airport. You must have the eVisa approved before you fly. Plan accordingly.
