The consular service of the Turkish Embassy in Lomé remains inoperative. Visas will still be issued to Togolese citizens by the Turkish Embassy in Cotonou, Benin, the Embassy recalled in a statement issued with some updates on new travel measures regarding Covid-19.
Togolese are therefore requested to continue to apply for a visa on the usual website (www.visa.gov.tr) and make an appointment online.
“Foreigners holding residence permits in Togo are requested to consult https://www.mfa.gov.tr/visa-information-for-foreigners.en.mfa to find out about the visa regime applied to their country” , the statement said.
As part of the relief measures taken against COVID-19, since March 3, 2022, all travelers fully vaccinated (in the case of the Johnson&Johnson vaccine one dose), for at least 14 days or recovered from Covid in the last six months old are exempted from PCR test and quarantine if they can produce a vaccination certificate or a certificate of cure that is less than 6 months old.
Otherwise, they must present a negative PCR test carried out 72 hours before arrival in Turkey or a negative antigen test less than 48 hours and complete the online form at https://register.health.gov.tr/ at most late 72 hours before the flight.
Kindly note that children under the age of 12 are exempt from the test requirement.
