Omani passport holders need an eVisa to enter Togo for tourism or business. Apply online before you travel — there's no visa-on-arrival option. The eVisa allows stays up to 30 days and typically processes in 3–5 business days.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| eVisa application Apply online before travel | Apply for your Togo eVisa at evisa.gouv.tg at least 3–5 business days before departure. The eVisa is valid for a 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 based on this.Apply for eVisa | Required |
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of stay | Your passport must be valid for at least the full period you intend to stay in Togo. No 6-month validity rule applies — just cover your trip dates. Airlines at Muscat may still ask for 6 months, so check with your carrier before flying. | 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 copy or a clear digital version on your phone. If you're flying out overland to a neighboring country, a bus ticket or ferry booking works too. | 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're arriving without a clear itinerary. A simple booking confirmation from Booking.com or Airbnb is fine. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support your stay | Have a recent bank statement or a credit card showing available funds. Immigration rarely asks for it, but if they do, they want to see you have enough for your stay — roughly 100,000 CFA (~$165) per day is a safe benchmark. | Recommended |
Yellow fever vaccine is mandatory
You must show a valid yellow fever vaccination certificate (yellow card) on arrival. Without it, you may be denied entry or forced to get vaccinated at the airport (which costs time and money).
Cash is king in Togo
ATMs are scarce outside Lomé, and credit cards are rarely accepted. Bring enough Euros or USD to exchange at the airport or a bank. The local currency is the West African CFA franc (XOF).
What happens at the border
1
Apply for eVisa online
Go to the official Togolese eVisa portal (evisa.gouv.tg). Fill in your personal details, upload a passport photo, and pay the fee (around 30,000 XOF / ~$50 USD). Processing takes 3–5 business days. You'll receive the eVisa by email.
2
Print or save your eVisa
Once approved, print a paper copy of the eVisa and also save a PDF on your phone. You'll need to show it at check-in and on arrival.
3
Arrive at Lomé–Tokoin Airport (LFW)
Most flights land at Lomé–Tokoin Airport. After disembarking, follow signs to 'Immigration' or 'Passport Control'. Have your passport, eVisa, return ticket, and accommodation confirmation ready.

Pass through immigration
Hand over your passport and eVisa. The officer will stamp your passport and note your allowed stay (usually 30 days). You may be asked about your return ticket or accommodation — answer clearly.
5
Collect luggage and exit
After immigration, proceed to baggage claim, then customs. There's usually no customs declaration for personal items. Exit into the arrivals hall.
