Andorra to Côte d'Ivoire visa requirements

Andorran ordinary passport holders need an e-visa to visit Côte d'Ivoire. You must pre-enroll online via the official SNEDAI platform before departure, then complete biometric capture (fingerprints and photo) on arrival at Abidjan Félix Houphouët-Boigny (Port Bouet) International Airport, where the visa is printed and issued. The standard e-visa costs EUR 73 including bank fees, is valid 3 months with multiple entries, and SNEDAI says the approval response normally arrives within 48 working hours, though processing can exceed that. Côte d'Ivoire is not a visa-free destination for Andorran (AD) ordinary passport holders; Abidjan airport guidance says all non-exempt nationalities can obtain a visa online through the eVisa process or through an embassy. The official SNEDAI e-visa "pre-enrollment" system is the recognised online route. The traveler completes and pays for the application online, receives a pre-enrollment approval by email if accepted, and must then present that document at the dedicated "Visa Airport" desk at Abidjan Félix Houphouët-Boigny (Port Bouet) International Airport, where compulsory biometric enrollment (fingerprints and photograph) is performed and the physical biometric visa is printed and delivered. Because biometrics are captured at that airport, entry under the e-visa is tied to Abidjan airport procedures. SNEDAI says the required online uploads are the passport identity page(s), proof of round-trip flight reservation, and an invitation letter or accommodation certificate; the invitation letter must be typed, printed, signed, stamped, and legalized. The visa is valid for 3 months with multiple entries and costs EUR 73 including banking charges. SNEDAI says the response is sent within 48 working hours but also warns that processing may exceed 48 working hours, so travelers should apply with a buffer. A passport valid at least 6 months and a yellow fever vaccination certificate are required for airport issuance. Côte d'Ivoire is in West Africa and is not part of the Schengen area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply to this trip.

Frequently asked

Can Andorran citizens get a visa on arrival in Côte d'Ivoire?—
No. You must complete the online e-visa pre-enrollment with SNEDAI before departure. Biometrics are then captured on arrival at Abidjan airport, but you cannot start the process at the border without the pre-enrollment confirmation.
