Frequently asked questions about the Ivory Coast eVisa

Who needs a visa for the Ivory Coast?

Most foreign nationals require a visa. Citizens of ECOWAS countries (such as Ghana, Nigeria, and Senegal) enjoy visa-free entry. Travelers from many other nations, including the US, UK, and EU, are eligible to apply for the Ivory Coast eVisa (Pre-enrollment) online.

How will I receive the Ivory Coast eVisa?

You will first receive a Pre-Enrollment Document (biometric receipt) via email. You must print this document and bring it with you. Upon arrival at Felix Houphouet-Boigny International Airport in Abidjan, you will proceed to the "Visa Airport" zone to have your fingerprints and photo taken and receive the physical visa sticker in your passport.

How long can I stay in Ivory Coast with an eVisa?

The Ivory Coast eVisa is typically a multiple-entry visa valid for 90 days from the date of issue. You can enter and exit the country multiple times within this period.

Can I extend my Ivory Coast eVisa?

Yes. If you wish to stay longer than 90 days, you must apply for an extension at the Sûreté Nationale (Immigration Office) in Abidjan before your current visa expires.

How long does Ivory Coast eVisa processing take?

The official government processing time for the pre-enrollment document is usually 48 to 72 hours.

With iVisa, you can get your approval in as little as 24 hours with our Super Rush processing option.

Do I need a Yellow Fever vaccination?

Yes. A Yellow Fever vaccination certificate is a mandatory requirement for entry into the Ivory Coast. You will be asked to present your "Yellow Book" along with your pre-enrollment document upon arrival.

Can I enter through any border with the eVisa?

No. The eVisa (pre-enrollment) system is currently only available for travelers arriving at Felix Houphouet-Boigny International Airport (Abidjan). If you are entering via a land border or seaport, you must obtain a traditional visa from an embassy in advance.

What happens if my application is denied?

Denials are often caused by mismatched flight dates or unclear passport copies. iVisa’s expert review process checks your application to ensure all documents meet the government's requirements.

iVisa also offers optional denial protection for your application.
