About This Visa

Indian ordinary-passport holders need a visa for Côte d’Ivoire. Usual holiday path: e-Visa on the official SNEDAI site https://snedai.com (also linked from the Embassy of Côte d’Ivoire in New Delhi).

Pay EUR 73 (includes bank fees) by Visa or Mastercard for a 3-month multiple-entry visa. Online approval is a pre-enrolment document with a barcode — not the final sticker.
