Ivory Coast (Côte d'Ivoire) is a West African country and the world's largest cocoa producer, known for French colonial heritage, diverse cultures, beaches, rainforests, and economic dynamism. Yamoussoukro is the official capital featuring the enormous Basilica of Our Lady of Peace (world's largest church), while Abidjan remains the economic capital and largest city. Visitors are drawn to Abidjan's modern skyline and vibrant markets, Grand-Bassam colonial architecture (UNESCO site), beach resorts near Assinie, Taï National Park rainforest (UNESCO, chimpanzees), Basilica of Our Lady of Peace, Comoé National Park wildlife, Man's mountain landscapes and traditional masks, and West African culture. French is the official language, reflecting colonial history.

Visa Requirements for Ivory Coast

Ivory Coast offers e-visas for most foreign nationals, streamlining the visa application process. Citizens of ECOWAS (Economic Community of West African States) member countries can enter visa-free for up to 90 days. Most other visitors can apply for e-visas online at snedai.com before travel, with processing typically within 3-5 business days. Some nationalities can obtain visas on arrival at Abidjan airport. E-visa costs approximately €73 and requires yellow fever vaccination certificate (mandatory for all visitors), passport scan, photo, and hotel reservations. Traditional visas can also be obtained through Ivorian embassies. Ivory Coast's e-visa system is relatively efficient compared to many African countries.
