🇦🇷Argentina🇨🇮Côte d'IvoireAR-CI Argentina to Côte d'Ivoire visa requirements
Argentine ordinary passport holders need an eVisa (pre-enrolment) to visit Côte d'Ivoire for tourism. Apply and pay online at the official SNEDAI portal at least 48 hours before departure, then collect the biometric visa on arrival at Abidjan Port-Bouët International Airport. A yellow fever vaccination certificate is mandatory. Côte d'Ivoire requires Argentine (AR) ordinary passport holders to obtain an electronic visa for short tourist stays. The system is run by SNEDAI, the state-mandated operator. It is a two-step process: the traveller completes the online pre-enrolment form, uploads a passport scan and photo, and pays the fee (EUR 73) online; SNEDAI then issues a pre-authorization (a barcoded document) by email. The applicant prints this and presents it on arrival at Abidjan Port-Bouët International Airport, where biometric data (fingerprints, photo) is captured and the physical visa sticker is issued. The pre-authorization must be requested at least 48 hours before departure. The e-visa is a single-entry, short-stay visa valid for up to 90 days with a stay of up to 3 months. Entry under the e-visa scheme is only permitted via Port-Bouët Airport in Abidjan; land/sea entrants must use an embassy visa. Côte d'Ivoire is not part of the Schengen area, so the 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply. Only nationals of about 20 mostly ECOWAS/African states are visa-exempt; Argentina is not among them. Proof of yellow fever vaccination is required for all travellers. Conclusion: eVisa, confirmed against the official SNEDAI portal, the Abidjan airport authority, and cross-checked with Wikipedia's visa-requirements tables.
