Romanian passport holders need an eVisa to enter Togo. You must apply online before you travel — there's no visa-on-arrival option. The eVisa is valid for tourism, business, and transit stays.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| eVisa application Apply before travel | Apply for your Togo eVisa at evisa.gouv.tg before departure. The online form takes about 15 minutes — upload a passport photo and your passport data page. Processing usually takes 2–3 business days, and you receive the approved eVisa by email. Print two copies: one for immigration at Lomé Airport and one as backup.Apply for eVisa | Required |
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of stay | Your Romanian passport needs to be valid for your entire stay in Togo. Togo does not enforce a 6-month validity rule — just make sure it doesn't expire while you're there. Airlines at departure may still ask for at least 3 months validity, so check with your carrier. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Togo | Immigration at Lomé Airport routinely asks for a return or onward ticket before they stamp you in. Have a printed or digital copy of your flight booking ready. If you're overlanding to a neighboring country, show a bus ticket or a written itinerary. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Have your hotel reservation or a letter of invitation from your host ready. Immigration officers at Lomé sometimes ask for it, especially if you're arriving without a pre-booked tour. A simple booking confirmation on your phone is fine. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself | Carry a bank statement or a credit card showing you have enough funds for your stay. Togo doesn't have a fixed minimum amount, but having at least €200–€300 in cash or available credit covers you for a short visit. ATMs in Lomé are reliable but less so outside the capital. | Recommended |
Yellow fever vaccine is mandatory
You must show proof of yellow fever vaccination (yellow card) at immigration. Without it, you may be denied entry or forced to get vaccinated on the spot at your own expense. Get the shot at least 10 days before travel.
eVisa is digital — no embassy visit needed
The entire process is online. You never need to visit a Togolese embassy or consulate. Just apply, pay, and receive your approval by email.
