## Evidence timeline

- **Current official route — South Korean ordinary passports: Côte d’Ivoire preapproved arrival visa** (Visa on arrival)
  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.
