🇨🇦 Canada to Cote d'Ivoire: visa and entry requirements 🇨🇮

e-VisaOrdinary passport

e-Visa · Pre-enrolment receipt and approval certificate required before boarding; visa issued at Abidjan airport under the approved terms · Canadian ordinary-passport holders require an Ivorian tourist visa before arrival. The electronic route allows the traveller to receive the visa at Félix-Houphouët-Boigny International Airport only after obtaining both the online pre-enrolment receipt and the authority's approval certificate before boarding the flight to Abidjan. This is therefore a pre-approved eVisa process, not an unconditional visa on arrival. The authorised stay follows the approved and issued permission; the official Canada-specific guidance reviewed does not state a universal tourist-stay ceiling, so no numeric maximum is asserted here.
