Do Indonesia passport holders need a visa to visit CI?
Indonesian ordinary passport holders need a visa for Côte d'Ivoire, but can use the official online eVisa: apply and pay (~EUR 73) on the SNEDAI portal, receive pre-approval (issued within about 48 hours), then collect the biometric visa on arrival at Abidjan's Félix-Houphouët-Boigny International Airport. Indonesia is not on Côte d'Ivoire's visa-exempt list, so do not travel without the eVisa pre-approval. Côte d'Ivoire is not visa-free for Indonesian (ID) ordinary passport holders and is not part of the Schengen area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply. Indonesia does not appear on Côte d'Ivoire's visa-exemption list (which mainly covers ECOWAS members plus a small set of nations such as Singapore, the Philippines, Morocco, Mauritania, Rwanda, Seychelles and Tunisia). The practical route for tourists is the official electronic visa (eVisa) operated by SNEDAI, the government-designated provider. The process is two-stage: the traveler completes the application and pays online (fee around EUR 73 including bank charges) at least 48 hours before departure, receives an emailed pre-authorization to print, and then has the biometric visa physically issued on arrival at Abidjan Port-Bouët / Félix-Houphouët-Boigny International Airport. The eVisa requires entry through Abidjan airport; land or other-airport entries are not covered by the eVisa and would require an embassy-issued visa. Required supporting items typically include a passport valid at least six months, a passport photo, return/onward ticket, proof of accommodation or an invitation, a valid payment card, and a valid yellow fever vaccination certificate (mandatory for entry). The pre-approval is generally valid for 90 days from issue and the resulting stay is short-stay tourism. As always, conditions can change, so applicants should confirm on the SNEDAI portal before booking.
