Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| eVisa application Apply before travel | Apply for a Togo eVisa at evisa.gouv.tg at least 5 business days before departure. The eVisa is valid for single entry and allows a stay of up to 15 days. Print the approval email and carry it with your passport — immigration at Lomé Airport will stamp you in.Apply for eVisa | Required |
| Valid passport Must be valid for the entire stay | Your Cambodian passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your intended departure date from Togo. Airlines check this at check-in — if your passport expires sooner, you will be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of onward travel | Immigration at Lomé Airport asks for a return or onward ticket before they stamp you in. Have a printed or digital copy of your outbound flight booking ready. 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 sometimes ask for it, especially if you arrive without a clear itinerary. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself | Have bank statements or a credit card ready to show you have at least 200,000 XOF (~$330) for your stay. Officers rarely ask, but it helps if you look underprepared. | Recommended |
Yellow fever vaccine is mandatory
Togo requires proof of yellow fever vaccination for all travellers. Without your yellow card, you may be denied entry or forced to get vaccinated at the airport (which costs money and time).
eVisa processing times vary
Apply at least 7 days before departure. Processing can take up to 5 business days, and there's no rush service. Don't book non-refundable flights until you have the visa.
