## Official evidence timeline

- **Current official route — ECOWAS and AES-transition ordinary passports: Côte d’Ivoire short-visit visa exemption** (Visa-free)
  The current ECOWAS roster identifies Côte d’Ivoire and eleven foreign current Member States. The ECOWAS Protocol provides their citizens visa-free entry for up to 90 days. Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger are no longer roster members, but ECOWAS's still-current withdrawal directive expressly continues their visa-free movement rights until further notice. This is a visa exemption, not an airport visa or electronic-visa route.
  - The Protocol requires a valid travel document and international health certificate, requires entry through an official point, and sets a 90-day visitor limit; a longer stay needs permission from the competent authority.
  - A Member State may refuse admission to a Community citizen classed as an inadmissible immigrant under its laws. Border, health, identity, security and individual-admissibility controls therefore remain applicable.
  - The current roster excludes BF, ML and NE following their 29 January 2025 withdrawal. ECOWAS nevertheless directs relevant authorities to continue their citizens' visa-free movement rights until further notice. Their ordinary-passport treatment is conditional on the official transition arrangement, including recognition of national passports or identity cards bearing the ECOWAS logo; it must be rechecked if ECOWAS announces final future-relation modalities.
  - This policy does not normalize residence, employment, diplomatic, official, service, UN laissez-passer, refugee, special-document, transit or event-specific access.

- **Current official route — German ordinary passports: named visitor visas issued at arrival** (Visa on arrival)
  The Federal Foreign Office expressly identifies a border-issued short-visitor route for each listed German ordinary-passport destination.
  - DJ: a visa can be applied for at entry. KM: tourist visa is issued on arrival at Grande Comore international airport. TM: airport issuance requires a pre-issued Turkmen Migration Service visa approval/invitation. CI: prior online application is followed by issuance at entry. GW: airport visa is available for 30 days; land-border issuance is unavailable. BD: normally available for tourism or business up to 30 days at Dhaka international airport, subject to listed documents. KH: tourist visa is available on arrival at all international border crossings.
  - TM and CI are classified as visa_on_arrival because the visa itself is issued at the border after pre-approval, not because of their online or pre-travel steps. This excludes special documents, work, residence and final admission.

- **Current official route — Japanese ordinary passports: expressly available arrival-issued visitor visas** (Visa on arrival)
  Japan MOFA expressly describes border issuance for the listed Japanese ordinary-passport routes.
  - KM: arrival-airport issuance is available to direct arrivals from Japan and other countries without a Comoros overseas mission.
  - CI: online application and payment yield an authorization; the visa itself is obtained at Abidjan airport, so it is classified as visa on arrival rather than eVisa.
  - KH: visas are available on arrival at major airports and land borders. Cambodia also provides an eVisa route, but the expressly stated arrival route is the status recorded.

- **Current official route — French ordinary passports: named visitor visas issued at arrival** (Visa on arrival)
  Official guidance identifies a border-issued visitor visa route for each listed French ordinary-passport destination.
  - DJ: a one-month visa can be obtained at entry, though France Diplomatie also lists a short-stay e-visa route. KM: visa at Moroni airport. TM: airport or port issuance requires the national migration service invitation. GA: obtain the DGDI travel-authorisation receipt before flying to Libreville Léon-Mba airport; the visa sticker and payment occur on arrival. CI: online registration and payment precede visa issuance at Abidjan airport. BD: eligible travellers apply online before departure and receive the visa at arrival for up to 30 days. KH: tourist visas are available directly at all international air, land, sea and river borders.
  - GA, TM, CI and BD are visa_on_arrival because the visa itself is issued at the border after an online or pre-authorisation step. This excludes final admission and route-specific exclusions.

- **Current official route — Taiwan ordinary passports: named visa-on-arrival short visits** (Visa on arrival)
  Taiwan MOFA BOCA's current outbound schedule identifies these destinations as issuing visas at arrival to Taiwanese travellers, including stated pre-clearance routes.
  - BY, IR and UZ require the schedule's stated pre-clearance before a visa is issued on arrival; online pre-clearance followed by border issuance is normalized as visa_on_arrival.
  - CI requires online registration, fee payment and an emailed approval code before the visa is issued at Abidjan airport; it is therefore arrival issuance, not an eVisa under this taxonomy.
  - LR: apply online, then present the approval QR code at Roberts International Airport for biometric collection and the visa sticker. The Liberia Immigration Service directs applicants in a country with a Liberian embassy to that mission instead.

  Côte d’Ivoire’s current official ordinary-passport process requires online pre-enrolment, but the visa itself is printed and issued at Abidjan airport after biometric enrolment.
  - The official process is limited to valid ordinary passports and requires approved online pre-enrolment, payment, travel documents and airport biometric enrolment before the visa is printed and delivered.
  - The electronic application and approved document are not electronic issuance; the normal visitor visa is issued at the airport. Final admission and all published requirements remain applicable.

- **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.
