About the Côte d'Ivoire visa

Côte d'Ivoire offers the modern business hub of Abidjan, the basilica at Yamoussoukro, Grand-Bassam's colonial quarter and beaches along the Atlantic coast. Indian passport holders apply for a visa online, usually within about 5–6 days.

The process has two stages: you pre-enrol and pay online, then collect the visa on arrival at Abidjan airport, where your biometrics are taken.
