Big update if Togo is on your radar — an import permit is now required, and it's the kind of thing you sort weeks ahead, not the night before. Sam and I learned that permits set the pace for everything else on the timeline. Get that application moving first and the rest of the checklist falls in behind it. Let's map it out!
Bringing a pet to Togo requires three documents in the right order: a microchip, a rabies vaccine within the destination's wait window, and a government-endorsed health certificate. The table below lays out exactly what's required, what's not, and where each rule comes from.
