🇹🇬Togo

Typically bring

• Passport valid for at least six months beyond the planned departure date with at least two blank pages
• Digital photograph meeting the e‑visa specifications
• Proof of onward or return travel such as a flight itinerary
• Evidence of accommodation, for example a hotel reservation
• Demonstration of sufficient funds, often shown by recent bank statements or a credit‑card limit
• Yellow fever vaccination certificate if required by the health authority

Watch out for

• Applying too close to the travel date and risking delays in receiving the approval
• Using an outdated passport photo or a passport that does not meet the six‑month rule
• Failing to download and print the e‑visa confirmation, which may cause issues at the airport
• Overlooking the need for a yellow fever certificate when travelling from certain regions
• Assuming the e‑visa is valid for unlimited entries; verify the permitted stay duration

Good to know

• The official currency is the West African CFA franc (XOF); cash is widely used in markets
• French is the official language, while indigenous languages such as Ewe and Kabiye are also spoken
• Mobile data coverage can be limited, so purchasing a local SIM on arrival is advisable for reliable connectivity
• Petty theft and occasional pickpocketing occur in urban areas, so keep valuables secure and use hotel safes
• Road conditions vary; drive cautiously and consider reputable transport services for longer journeys
