If you’re fully vaccinated
Fully vaccinated passengers do not require a PCR test to enter or depart Togo. Departing passengers must complete an online immigration and health form to present to immigration on departure.
Proof of vaccination status
Togo will accept the UK’s digital proof of COVID-19 vaccination record. They will not accept the UK’s letter version or proof of recovery. Your NHS appointment card from vaccination centres is not designed to be used as proof of vaccination and should not be used to demonstrate your vaccine status.
Togolese land borders are open to fully vaccinated travellers.

The cost of the test is CFA 25,000 payable by credit/debit card or mobile money. You will need a print-out of the electronic receipt to be allowed to board the aircraft.
Travellers must self-isolate at their own accommodation until the second PCR test results are received within 24 to 48 hours by email.
