How to Get a Tourist Visa for the Ivory Coast

Ivory Coast Tourist Visa

Ivory Coast Tourist Visa

As I mentioned on my Ivory Coast visa page, the Ivory Coast has a downright pathetic network of websites for their consulates and embassies. To the workers at Ivory Coast Embassies and Consulates worldwide, why don’t you guys have a website (in BOTH English and French) that provides all the visa information in one place, including the fees? Why do you guys make people have to call up the Embassy and Consulate to have to find out the latest fees? C’mon guys, transparency…repeat that again, transparency is the key if you want more people to travel to your beloved country.

If you decide to visit the Ivory Coast for tourism purposes, in addition to your visa, don’t forget to bring your international health certificate with you showing current yellow fever immunization. I would hate to see you have to get your immunizations upon entry to Ivory Coast (there will usually be a small fee for this).

I’ll break everything down for you below about how to go about getting the Ivory Coast Tourist Visa. Go to my Ivory Coast visa page for information on other types of visas for the Ivory Coast.
