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.
