Do United Kingdom passport holders need a visa to visit CI?

UK ordinary passport holders need a visa for Côte d'Ivoire. The standard route for a short tourist visit is the e-visa: apply and pay online via the official SNEDAI portal before travel, then collect the visa sticker on arrival at Abidjan (Port Bouët) Airport. You must enter through Abidjan airport, and a yellow fever vaccination certificate is mandatory. British (GB) citizens are not visa-exempt for Côte d'Ivoire and must hold a visa for tourism. The practical option is the e-visa administered by SNEDAI (snedai.com), the government-mandated operator. Travelers complete and pay for the application online (UK GOV.UK advises applying at least 10 working days before departure), receive a pre-approval confirmation, and must arrive via Abidjan Félix-Houphouët-Boigny International Airport, where biometrics are captured and the physical visa is affixed in the passport. The e-visa is typically valid for a 90-day period and authorizes a short stay (up to about 90 days), single entry. The standard fee is around EUR 73. The passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond arrival, and proof of yellow fever vaccination is compulsory for entry. This is not a true visa-on-arrival channel: non-ECOWAS nationals must have the e-visa approved before boarding. Côte d'Ivoire is not in the Schengen area, so Schengen 90/180 and ETIAS rules do not apply.
