Is there a departure tax or fee when leaving Ivory Coast?

Travelers departing the nation for a destination outside Africa will need to remit an extra Embarkation Tax of XOF 5,000 at the departure airport.

Foreigners who wish to visit the Ivory Coast are often required to possess a valid visa. In order to expedite the visa application and entry process into the country, the Ivory Coast Government implemented the electronic visa (e-visa) for specific countries. Citizens of more than 200 countries are eligible for this visa, making obtaining a visa for Ivory Coast easier and quicker. Therefore, you should check your eligibility in advance to avoid wasting time.

Visa applicants can complete the application online on the Ivory Coast Immigration Services, which takes only a few minutes to fill in the application form, pay the e-visa fees, and submit the required documents. If all the information is correct and the visa application fees have been paid, travelers can expect to get their visa in a maximum of 03 business days. Please note that the Ivory Coast e-visa has a validity period of 03 months, allowing a visa holder to stay in the country for 30 days on each trip. As a result, visitors must leave the country once their visa expire; otherwise, they will be fined for overstaying a visa.
