Do Canada passport holders need a visa to visit CI?

Canadian passport holders need an e-visa to visit Côte d'Ivoire. You must complete online pre-enrolment via the official SNEDAI portal and obtain a "certificate of approval" (proof of authorization) BEFORE boarding your flight to Abidjan. The biometric visa is then printed on arrival at Félix Houphouët-Boigny International Airport. A yellow fever vaccination certificate is mandatory. Côte d'Ivoire is not visa-free for Canadian ordinary passport holders, and it is not in the Schengen area. The current process is an electronic visa (e-visa) administered exclusively by SNEDAI, the government-mandated operator. Travelers register online (pre-enrolment), upload their passport bio page, a round-trip flight reservation, and an accommodation certificate or invitation letter, then pay the EUR 73 fee online. Approval is typically issued within about 5 business days as a "certificate of approval of the authority," which must be presented to the airline before boarding. The biometric visa itself is issued/printed on arrival at Abidjan airport, where fingerprints are captured. The e-visa is valid for 90 days from issue, permits a stay of up to 90 days, and is multiple-entry. Entry is currently limited to Abidjan's Félix Houphouët-Boigny International Airport. A valid yellow fever vaccination certificate is required for entry and is checked at the airport. Passports must be valid for at least 6 months beyond the planned departure date. Both the Government of Canada travel advisory and the official SNEDAI e-visa service confirm this process.
