Do Brazil passport holders need a visa to visit CI?

Yes, a Brazilian ordinary passport holder needs a visa for Côte d'Ivoire, obtained as an e-visa. You apply and pay EUR 73 online at the official SNEDAI portal at least 48 hours before travel, then complete biometric enrollment and collect the printed visa on arrival at Abidjan (Port-Bouët) Airport. A yellow fever vaccination certificate is mandatory. Brazilian ordinary (regular) passport holders are NOT visa-exempt for Côte d'Ivoire; only Brazilian diplomatic and service passport holders are exempt. Ordinary travelers must use the country's e-visa system operated by SNEDAI. The process has two stages: (1) complete the online application and pay the EUR 73 fee at snedai.com/e-visa at least 48 hours before departure, receiving a pre-authorization by email; (2) on arrival at Abidjan Félix Houphouët-Boigny International Airport (Port-Bouët), proceed to the "Visa Airport" area for biometric enrollment (fingerprints and photo), after which the biometric visa is printed and delivered immediately. The e-visa is a single-entry visa valid for 90 days with a typical authorized stay of up to 90 days for tourism. A valid yellow fever vaccination certificate is a strict entry requirement for all travelers, and the passport must be valid for at least 6 months. 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.
