# Canada passport to Côte d'Ivoire: Visa on arrival

Current access classification: **Visa on arrival** — Visa available at the border or airport.

Access data checked August 24, 2026. Evidence status: **official evidence collected**.

This page concerns ordinary short visits unless an official source states otherwise. Authorities apply the current rule, and individual circumstances can change the applicable treatment.

## Evidence timeline

- **Current official route — Canadian ordinary passports: Côte d’Ivoire preapproved arrival visitor visa** (Visa on arrival)
  Canada's current Canadian-specific guidance says the visa is issued at Félix-Houphouët-Boigny International Airport after pre-enrolment and authority approval before boarding.
  - Complete online pre-enrolment and obtain both the receipt and certificate of authority approval before boarding for Abidjan.
  - The visa is issued at the airport after that preapproval, so this is border issuance rather than an eVisa. ECOWAS, residence, work, transit, diplomatic and special-document routes remain separate.
