How this access rule is documented

  1. Current official routeVisa on arrival

    Dutch ordinary passports: Côte d’Ivoire preapproved arrival visitor visa

    Netherlands guidance directs Dutch passport holders requiring a Côte d’Ivoire visa to SNEDAI; its official process requires online pre-enrolment then prints and issues the visa at Abidjan airport.

    • Use a valid ordinary Dutch passport. Complete SNEDAI pre-enrolment, payment and required documents, receive the approved response, and carry it when boarding.
    • The visa is printed and issued after biometric enrolment at Abidjan airport. This is preapproved border issuance, not an eVisa. ECOWAS, residence, work, transit, diplomatic or other special-document routes remain separate.

  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.
