Can I go? Entry and visas
From GOV.UK, for United Kingdom passports, updated 15 December 2025:
You must have a visa to visit Togo. A single-entry tourist visa is valid for 15 days. You must apply for a visa at least 6 days before you plan to arrive in the country. You cannot get a visa on arrival.
To stay longer (or to work or study, for business travel or for other reasons), you must meet the Togolese government’s entry requirements.
Passport validity
Your passport must have an ‘expiry date’ at least 3 months after the date you plan to leave Togo.
If you’re a resident in Togo, your passport must be valid for 6 months from the date you arrive.
Check with your travel provider that your passport and other travel documents meet requirements. Renew your passport if you need to.
You will be denied entry if you do not have a valid travel document or try to use a passport that has been reported lost or stolen.
