Taiwan (Chinese Taipei) to Côte d'Ivoire visa requirements

Taiwan ordinary passport holders need an eVisa for Côte d'Ivoire. You apply (pre-enroll) online at snedai.com before departure, receive an approval within about 48 business hours, then complete biometrics and collect the visa on arrival at Abidjan Port Bouet Airport. A yellow fever vaccination certificate is mandatory. Côte d'Ivoire is not in the Schengen area and offers no visa-free entry to Taiwan (TW) ordinary passport holders. The required channel is the official electronic visa (eVisa) operated by SNEDAI on behalf of the Ivorian government. Travelers must complete an online pre-enrollment at snedai.com before flying, uploading the passport bio page, a confirmed round-trip flight booking, and proof of accommodation (hotel reservation or invitation letter). After payment (about 73 EUR including bank fees, paid by Visa or Mastercard), an approval with a barcode is normally returned within 48 business hours by email. The applicant then boards with the printed "Approved pre-enrollment" and registration receipt, completes biometric enrollment at the dedicated visa area on arrival, and the physical visa is printed and delivered immediately. Critically, eVisa holders must enter through Abidjan Port Bouet International Airport. The visa is valid for 3 months and is issued for multiple entries. The passport must be valid at least 6 months with a blank page, and an International Certificate of Vaccination against yellow fever is compulsory for all arrivals. Because there is no confirmed visa-free or pure visa-on-arrival channel for Taiwan, the eVisa is the correct and conservative verdict.
