Ivory Coast visa application form requirements for the citizens of South Africa

Would you like to explore the many wonders of the Ivory Coast (also known as Cote d’Ivoire) on the Western coast of Africa? Whether your travel plans are for business or leisure, iVisa can help you get a visa to travel to Côte d’Ivoire. Read on for more information about how to visit this West African country.

The citizens of South Africa are eligible for an Ivory Coast electronic visa. If you are South African national, you can apply online using the services provided by iVisa. This is more convenient than going to the nearest embassy to apply for a consular visa. All you need is 10 minutes of your time and some documents, such as a passport. Be aware that the electronic visa does not authorize permanent residence in Côte d’Ivoire, just a temporary visit.

As for the application form, you do not need to worry. One of iVisa’s targets is to make the online application process as short and as simple as possible. Creating an accessible application form was one of the things that helped reach that target. This is why more and more people use the company’s services, whether they need to get a visa for a business trip or holiday. If you want to seek permanent residence abroad, you still need to go through an official government channel. But for a short visit, iVisa is there for you.

The application form

What you need to know is that the application form consists of three steps. However, there is nothing challenging about them, and if you need some assistance, iVisa has an excellent support service that is available 24/7 to provide any information you may need. The service is free of charge.

  1. Step number one targets two aspects. The first one is your personal information. You need to fill in your name, address, date of birth, passport info, and a few details regarding your trip, like your departure date. The second is the processing time. iVisa provides three options when it comes to processing so that you can use the one you want or need. What you need to remember here is that the processing option you select determines the cost of your visa. The Standard option is the slowest but the cheapest, while the Super Rush processing time is the fastest but most expensive.

  2. The second step will ask you to make the payment and revise the information you provided during step one. As for the payment, you can do it using one of the many available options. You can use a credit or debit card, but if you have an account on PayPal, you can use that as well. The revision is more important than you think. You need to make sure that the information you provide is 100 % accurate and correct. Check the spelling multiple times. You should know that failing to provide accurate information can render your visa invalid. There must be no discrepancies between the information on your visa and the information on your passport or any other form of identification.

  3. The third and last step requires you to upload some documents. You need a scan of your passport, a digital photo, and whatever else iVisa asks you to provide. However, this step is not the same for everyone. For example, if you travel with a minor, you also need an authorization letter from the other parent. But do not worry. iVisa will notify you about everything you need so that you have a successful application process.

Once you complete all three steps, you need to submit your application and then wait for the pre-approval letter to arrive via e-mail in PDF format. You need to print it out because your biometric visa will be released to you only if you have the letter. You can get it at the airport in Abidjan once you land. Of course, don’t forget your passport!

As you can see, the Ivory Coast visa application form for South Africans is not complicated. Especially when you apply online. You should have an easy time going through it, and any questions can be clarified by iVisa’s support service. The document you receive is valid for 90 days after arrival. You can use it for Multiple Entry and you can stay in the Ivory Coast for up to 30 days in Total. Your business and holiday plans in Cote d’Ivoire are sure to go more smoothly if iVisa is part of the process.
