Indian visa policy for Ivorian citizens

Ivory Coast (Côte d’Ivoire) citizens need a visa to visit India. Ivorian passport holders are eligible to apply for Indian eVisas for short-term travel such as tourism, business, or medical treatment. In addition, they must complete the e-Arrival Card, a digital immigration and customs form.

iVisa offers four entry documents for Ivorian travelers:

India Tourist eVisa: A mandatory electronic visa for Ivory Coast citizens traveling to India for tourism. Options include a 30-day double-entry visa or longer-term multiple-entry visas (1-year or 5-year), with stays typically limited to 180 days per visit.
India Business eVisa: an electronic visa for Ivorian travelers visiting India for business activities such as meetings, conferences, or trade purposes.
India Medical eVisa: an electronic visa for Ivory Coast citizens traveling to India for medical treatment at recognized healthcare facilities.
India e-Arrival Card: A mandatory digital form that must be completed online within 72 hours before arrival. After submission, travelers receive a QR code for inspection at immigration.

General India visa requirements for Ivorian travelers are:
A Côte d’Ivoire passport valid for at least six months beyond the intended stay
