Ivory Coast Business Visa
This is a multiple-entry visa valid for 1 year. The visa is issued by the embassy and will be affixed to one of the pages of your passport. The embassy-issued visa will be required for those travelers who are not entering the country through Félix-Houphouët-Boigny International Airport in Abidjan (for example, travelers entering the country by land or by sea).
The government fee is $150 and our service fee is $300 (our fee includes hand-carry drop off at the embassy and return shipping using FedEx).
Processing time is 2 weeks.
Applicant must provide the following:
1 - Passport. Submit the original (signed) passport and make sure it has empty visa pages and will not expire within 6 months from the date of arrival to Ivory Coast.
2 - Digital Photo. Please take this photo against a plain white background using a modern camera-phone device according to the instructions listed below under “How to take a good passport photo” and email it to admin@visasupply.com.
