Serbian passport holders need an eVisa to enter Togo. The entire process is online — you apply before traveling, and approval arrives by email. As of 2026, there is no visa-on-arrival option for leisure travel, so plan ahead.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| eVisa application Apply before travel | Apply for your Togo eVisa at evisa.gouv.tg. The application takes about 10 minutes — you'll need a passport scan, a passport photo, and your flight itinerary. Processing usually takes 2–3 business days, and the visa is valid for 15 days from arrival.Apply for eVisa | Required |
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of stay | Your Serbian passport must be valid for at least the length of your stay in Togo. Airlines check this at check-in — if your passport expires before you leave, you'll be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Required for entry | Immigration at Lomé–Gnassingbé Eyadéma International Airport asks to see a return or onward ticket before they stamp you in. Have a printed copy or a screenshot ready — they don't always check, but when they do, they're strict. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Recommended to carry | Hotel booking confirmation or an invitation letter from your host in Togo. Immigration rarely asks, but if you're arriving without a clear plan, they may question you at the desk. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Recommended to carry | Carry cash (Euros or CFA francs) or a debit card with a visible balance. Immigration doesn't routinely check, but having the equivalent of about 200,000 CFA (~€300) in cash or on a card covers you if asked. | Recommended |
Yellow fever vaccine is mandatory
You must show your yellow fever vaccination certificate (yellow card) at immigration. No card = possible denial of entry or a fine. Get the shot at least 10 days before you travel.
Keep a printed copy of your eVisa
Phone screens can die, get wet, or break. Print a paper copy of your eVisa approval and keep it with your passport. Airlines check it at check-in too.
What happens at the border
