Obtaining a visa for Ivory Coast is mandatory in order to enter Ivorian territory.
Two options are available to you:
1- you make a request to the consulate to obtain your Visa prior departure
2- you do what is called pre-enrollment to obtain the visa on arrival at Félix Houphouet Boigny International Airport in Abidjan
These two options have in common a compulsory registration on the Ivorian immigration website.
Regarding a visa application at the consulate, you will need to:
o Register on the site https://snedai.com/visaenambassade/
o Advance fees and pay consular fees online
o Make an appointment for the filing of the file and the filing of fingerprints
In this case, we can only intervene for the withdrawal of your Visa. For this purpose, we will then need from you the withdrawal ticket offered when filing the file at the consulate.
Regarding pre-enrollment or, in other words, obtaining the Visa on arrival, going through the consulate is not required and all the procedures are done online before departure. Fingerprints will be taken on arrival in Ivory Coast.
In this case, we can take care of your request and you will find the list of items to be offered via our “Documents to provide” tab (see above).
