How this access rule is documented

  1. Current official routeVisa on arrival

    French ordinary passports: named visitor visas issued at 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.

  2. Current official routeVisa on arrival

    Residual ordinary passports use Côte d’Ivoire's preapproved airport-issued visa

    Côte d’Ivoire's current visitor baseline and live finite exemption schedule identify the visa-liable residual; SNEDAI requires approval before boarding but prints and issues the biometric visa at Abidjan airport.

    • This policy covers only the ordinary-passport short-visitor residual after the live SNEDAI exemption schedule and separately supported current treaty or nationality exceptions are excluded.
    • Complete online pre-enrolment, upload the required passport, return-ticket and invitation or accommodation documents, pay the fee and wait for D.S.T. approval before boarding.
    • Present the approved pre-enrolment, payment receipt, passport and yellow-fever certificate at Abidjan airport; biometric enrolment, printing and visa issuance occur there.
    • The visa is described as three-month multiple-entry; that is not normalized as a permitted stay length. Document validity, health rules and final admission remain separate.
