Overview

Short-stay electronic visa for tourism, sightseeing, and recreational travel, valid for 90 days with multiple entries, applied online via SNEDAI.

The Côte d'Ivoire tourist e-Visa was implemented as a modern, digital solution to streamline entry procedures for international visitors, moving away from traditional, time-consuming embassy-based applications. Managed through the SNEDAI platform, this electronic authorization was designed to boost tourism by simplifying the administrative burden for travelers. It fills the gap for a fast, accessible, and secure entry method, allowing tourists to obtain their travel authorization online before arrival, provided they complete biometric enrollment at Abidjan's Félix-Houphouët-Boigny International Airport.

This visa is intended for foreign nationals planning short-term visits for tourism, sightseeing, holidays, or social events. It is ideal for travelers who want to explore the country's beaches, culture, and urban centers without the need for a long-term residency permit. A distinctive feature of this e-Visa is its multiple-entry capability, which offers flexibility for travelers to leave and re-enter the country during the 90-day validity period, provided each individual stay remains within the authorized limits.
