Key rules for Côte d'Ivoire were checked against Côte d'Ivoire Ministry of Foreign Affairs travel advice and embassy pages in October 2026. Individual passport results come from Passport Index data as of February 2026, corrected where official sources disagreed. We corrected the standard dataset for this result: Côte d'Ivoire's ministry describes its online authorisation as an e-visa applied for at snedai.com. Rules change, so always check the official source before you pay or book. Faylo is not an embassy or immigration adviser.

Questions
Do Kenyan citizens need a visa for Côte d'Ivoire?
Kenyan passport holders need an e-visa for Côte d'Ivoire. You apply and pay online before you travel and carry the approval with you. Approval times vary, so don't leave it to the last week. Confirm on Côte d'Ivoire e-Visa portal (SNEDAI) before you pay or book, because entry rules change.
Should I use an agent to get a Côte d'Ivoire visa?
Only if you want someone to handle the paperwork for you. Government fees are the same whether or not you use an agent, and agents add their own fee on top — sometimes more than the visa itself. Check that the government fee is listed separately and avoid agents who ask for payment to a personal account.
