🇨🇳 China to Cote d'Ivoire: visa and entry requirements 🇨🇮

e-VisaOrdinary passport

e-Visa · Advance embassy visa or pre-approved electronic visa required; follow the stay authorised on the issued permission · A People's Republic of China ordinary-passport holder requires an Ivorian visa for tourism. The traveller may obtain a visa from the Embassy of Côte d'Ivoire before travel or use the online electronic-visa process with a passport valid for more than six months, but the inviting party must complete the required advance formalities. The electronic route is therefore a pre-approved process rather than an unconditional visa on arrival. The official China-specific guidance reviewed does not publish a dependable ordinary-tourist stay ceiling, so the period authorised by the approval and border endorsement controls and no numeric stay is asserted here.
