Travel advice for this country
General
You should ensure that you have comprehensive medical & travel insurance, which covers a provision for medical evacuation. You should check any exclusions, and that your policy covers you for the activities you want to undertake. For more general information see Travel Insurance.
If things do go wrong when you are oversees then this is How We Can Help.
Registration
Register with our LOCATE service to tell us when and where you are travelling abroad or where you live abroad so our consular and crisis staff can provide better assistance to you in an emergency. More information about registering with LOCATE can be found here.
The number of British visitors to Togo is low. The main type of incident for which British nationals require consular assistance in Togo is for replacing lost and stolen passports. You should keep a photocopy of your passport separate from your passport. This will help to speed up the process of issuing a new one.
Money
The Central Bank (BCEAO) has issued the following new CFA notes and coins in Togo: 10000, 5000, 2000 and 1000 CFA notes; 500 and 200 CFA coins. The old notes ceased to be legal on 31 December 2004.
UK Representation in Togo
There is no formal UK representation in Togo. In case of an emergency you should contact the British High Commission in Accra, Ghana.
