What should I do after receiving my Ivory Coast e-Visa?

After receiving your Ivory Coast e-Visa, here’s what you should do:

Check the Details

When you receive your e-visa, check the details carefully for any mistakes. You need to check the following:

Your full name, as shown in your passport
Your application ID
Your passport number
Your visa number
Your nationality
The period the e-Visa is valid for.

If there’s an error, contact the issuing authority or the Ivory Coast embassy immediately to rectify it.

Download & Print a Copy

Even though it’s an electronic visa, print at least one physical copy of the e-visa. Immigration officials may ask to see it upon arrival, and having a backup is wise in case of technical issues.

Save a digital copy on your phone, tablet, or email for easy access. Ensure it’s downloadable offline in case you don’t have internet access at the border.

Verify Entry Requirements

Confirm that you meet all other entry conditions for Ivory Coast, such as:

Passport: valid for at least six months from your entry date.
Proof of onward or return travel (e.g., flight itinerary).
Evidence of sufficient funds (sometimes requested).
A yellow fever vaccination certificate, which is mandatory for entry.

Prepare for Arrival

When you arrive upon arrival at Félix Houphouët-Boigny International Airport in Abidjan, present your printed e-visa, passport, and any other required documents to immigration officials. Answer any questions they may have clearly and honestly.

Know Your Visa Limits

Understand the duration and conditions of your stay (e.g., single or multiple entry, maximum days allowed). The e-Visa is typically valid for 90 days from issuance, allowing a stay of up to 30 days, but confirm this on your document.

Keep digital and physical copies of your e-visa and other important documents in a safe place during your trip.
