How this access rule is documented

  1. Current official routeVisa on arrival

    South Korean ordinary passports: Côte d’Ivoire preapproved arrival visa

    Korean MFA requires an approved eVisa pre-enrolment document before departure for ordinary Korean passports. Côte d’Ivoire’s recognised official service prints and issues the biometric visa at Abidjan airport.

    • Applies to a valid ordinary Republic of Korea passport for a short visitor trip; diplomatic, official, service, residence, work, transit and final-admission rules are outside this finding.
    • Complete the approved online pre-enrolment before boarding and carry the approved response, payment receipt, passport and other listed entry documents.
    • At Abidjan airport, complete biometric enrolment; the visa is printed and issued there. This is advance electronic preapproval followed by arrival issuance, not electronic visa issuance.
  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.
