Myanmar passport holders need an eVisa to enter Togo. The entire process is online: apply before you travel, receive approval by email, and present the printed confirmation at Lomé–Gnassingbé Eyadéma International Airport. As of 2026, there is no visa-on-arrival option for Myanmar nationals.
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 is valid for single entry and allows stays up to 30 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 passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your intended departure date from Togo. Togo strictly enforces this — if your passport expires sooner, you will be denied boarding in Yangon or turned back at Lomé. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Togo | Immigration at Lomé Airport routinely asks for a return or onward ticket before granting entry. Airlines also check this at check-in. Have a printed or digital copy of your outbound flight booking ready. | 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. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself | Have cash (Euros or CFA francs) or a bank statement showing at least 300,000 CFA (~$500 USD) available. Immigration rarely asks, but if they do, you need to demonstrate you won't overstay or work illegally. | Recommended |
Yellow fever vaccination is mandatory
Togo requires proof of yellow fever vaccination for all travellers over 1 year old. Without the yellow card, you may be denied entry or forced to get vaccinated on arrival (and possibly fined). Get the shot at least 10 days before travel.
Print everything — digital copies may not be accepted
Immigration officers at Lomé Airport expect physical documents. Print your eVisa confirmation, return ticket, and hotel booking. A screenshot on your phone is not a reliable backup.
