Türkiye to Côte d'Ivoire visa requirements

Q: Is the e-visa valid at all entry points?

No. The e-visa is only valid for arrival at Abidjan Félix-Houphouët-Boigny (Port-Bouët) International Airport. For land borders or other airports you must get a visa from an Ivorian embassy beforehand.

Q: How much does the Côte d'Ivoire e-visa cost?

The standard e-visa fee is 73 EUR, paid online during the SNEDAI application. It is generally non-refundable.

Q: How long does the e-visa take to process?

Approval is usually issued within 48-72 hours, but it is wise to apply at least a week before travel in case of delays.

Q: Do I need a yellow fever vaccination?

Yes. A valid yellow fever vaccination certificate is mandatory for entry into Côte d'Ivoire and may be checked on arrival.

Q: Is Côte d'Ivoire in the Schengen area?

No. Côte d'Ivoire is in West Africa and is not part of the Schengen area, so Schengen 90/180 and ETIAS rules do not apply.

Turkish ordinary passport holders need a visa for Côte d'Ivoire. The standard route is the official online e-visa (pre-enrollment) via SNEDAI, with the biometric visa collected on arrival at Abidjan's Félix-Houphouët-Boigny (Port-Bouët) International Airport. Côte d'Ivoire is not visa-free for Turkish ordinary passport holders; only Turkish diplomatic and service passport holders are visa-exempt. The practical and officially endorsed option for tourists is the e-visa system operated by SNEDAI on behalf of the Ivorian government. Travelers complete an online application and pay the fee (73 EUR), then receive a pre-enrollment authorization by email. The actual biometric visa is issued and fingerprints/photo captured on arrival at Abidjan's Félix-Houphouët-Boigny (Port-Bouët) International Airport, where the printed pre-authorization must be presented. Critically, the e-visa is ONLY valid for entry through Abidjan airport; travelers entering by land or at other points must obtain a visa from an Ivorian embassy/consulate beforehand. The e-visa is typically single-entry, valid for entry within 90 days, and permits a stay of up to 90 days. Processing is fast (commonly 48-72 hours). All travelers need a passport valid at least 6 months, onward/return ticket, and proof of accommodation. Yellow fever vaccination is mandatory for entry to Côte d'Ivoire. Côte d'Ivoire is in West Africa and is not part of the Schengen area, so Schengen/ETIAS rules do not apply.
