United StatesIvory CoastShort stayTravel authorisation
United States passport holders need an electronic travel authorisation before flying to Ivory Coast. It's an online form, usually approved quickly, and lighter than a full e-visa.
This is short-stay visitor policy only. It does not let you work, study or settle in Ivory Coast — that needs a residence permit.
