## Evidence timeline

- **Current official route — Irish ordinary passports: Côte d’Ivoire airport-issued visitor visa** (Visa on arrival)
  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.
