United Arab Emirates ordinary passports: Côte d'Ivoire preapproved arrival visitor visa
UAE MOFA directly places the Normal Emirati passport in Côte d'Ivoire's electronic preapproval route; the state-approved process prints and issues the visa at Abidjan airport.
- Use a Normal UAE passport and complete Côte d'Ivoire's approved ordinary-passport pre-enrolment before travel, including its stated supporting documents and authority approval.
- Board with the approved pre-enrolment response, then complete biometric enrolment at Abidjan airport, where the visa is printed and issued.
- This is preapproved border issuance, not an electronically issued visa; work, residence, special passports, carrier rules and final admission remain separate.
