The Côte d'Ivoire eVisa operates as an official electronic pre-enrollment system administered in partnership with SNEDAI. Travelers complete their application online and receive an official 'Pre-Enrollment Approval Letter' (Laissez-Passer) by email. Upon landing at Félix-Houphouët-Boigny International Airport in Abidjan (ABJ), you proceed to the dedicated biometric visa office where officers capture your fingerprints, take a digital photo, and print your physical sticker visa directly into your passport.
Yes. In compliance with Ivorian public health regulations, every international passenger arriving in Côte d'Ivoire must present an official yellow fever vaccination certificate (ICVP) before passing through health and immigration checkpoints at Abidjan airport.
No commercial agency or private facilitator can guarantee visa approval. Sovereign entry decisions are made exclusively by the Ministry of Interior and Security of Côte d'Ivoire. NomadicMart is an independent application service not affiliated with the Government of Côte d'Ivoire or snedai.com. We provide thorough document pre-checks and ongoing customer care.
No. The electronic pre-enrollment biometric visa is strictly valid only for travelers arriving by air via Félix-Houphouët-Boigny International Airport in Abidjan (ABJ), where the specialized biometric printing terminals are located. If you plan to enter Côte d'Ivoire via land borders from Ghana, Liberia, Guinea, Mali, or Burkina Faso, you must obtain a visa in advance from an Ivorian diplomatic mission.
To collect your physical biometric visa upon arrival at Abidjan airport, you must present your printed Pre-Enrollment Approval Letter, your original passport (with at least 6 months validity), your yellow fever vaccination card, your payment receipt, and your confirmed hotel booking or host accommodation certificate.
