High Degree of Caution
Travel to Togo
Fully vaccinated passengers do not require a PCR test to enter or leave Togo. COVID-19 vaccine certificates must include a QR code, or the passenger will not be considered vaccinated.
Passengers who are not fully vaccinated must provide a negative PCR test result dated no more than 5 days before departure to Togo. In addition, at least 24 hours before arrival in Togo, these passengers must complete an online immigration and health form and pay for a PCR test (on the same website) to be taken on arrival in Togo. A printout of the electronic receipt will be required for boarding and upon arrival, passengers must self-isolate at their own accommodation until the second PCR test results are received within 24 to 48 hours by email.
General Travel Advice
We advise against all travel within 5km of the border with Burkina Faso.

Get travel and medical insurance
Before travelling, the Department strongly recommends that you obtain comprehensive travel insurance which will cover all overseas medical costs, including medical repatriation/evacuation, repatriation of remains and legal costs. You should check any exclusions and, in particular, that your policy covers you for the activities you want to undertake.
Vaccinations
Check what vaccinations you may need for your trip at least eight weeks before you travel. We can’t advise you on vaccinations, but you can get information about vaccinations from your local GP or an International Health and Travel Centre.
Evidence of vaccination (in the form of a certificate) can be a requirement for entry to some countries.
Medication
Make sure you bring enough medication for your entire trip and for any unexpected delays. You may wish to also bring copies of your prescription in case you lose your medication.

Entry requirements (visa/passport)
Irish citizens require a visa to enter Togo. From April 2023 Irish citizens can obtain an entry visa on arrival for a maximum stay of up to 15 days.
Travellers are requested to have travel itinerary for their proposed period of stay and have sufficient proof of funds to cover their stay in Togo.
Passports must be valid for at least 6 months from date of entry into Togo and have at least two blank pages.
It is advisable to take a number of photocopies of your passport with you when travelling to Togo and you should carry a photocopy of your passport at all times during your stay.
If your passport is lost or stolen while you’re abroad you should contact the Irish Embassy in Abuja. We’ll do our best to help you as quickly as possible but this can take some time. Your location and circumstances may limit the help we can give you.
What we can do:
- Issue you with an emergency travel document to get you home.
- If required, provide advice on applying for new passport.
You will need a police report if you want to make a claim on your travel insurance. We will not provide you with a travel document without a police report.
