Can I Apply for an Ivory Coast Group Visa?
No, Ivory Coast does not currently offer a specific “group visa.” Each traveler must apply for an individual Ivory Coast e-Visa, even when traveling as part of a group.
All travelers, including those in families, tour groups, or business delegations, must apply for their own visa, either online (e-Visa) or via an embassy, meeting all standard requirements individually. If you're organizing a group tour or family trip, group leaders or agencies can assist with coordination, but there is no consolidated application or group fee option.
Here’s how you can streamline the process:
How to Apply for Ivory Coast Group Visa
While there is no official "group Visa" issued under one application, you can submit multiple individual visa applications at the same time using a visa service provider or a travel agency. These providers often offer group visa application assistance to make the process faster and more organized.
To apply, each traveler must submit:
- A valid passport (minimum 6 months validity)
- A passport-sized photo
- Flight itinerary (round trip)
- Hotel booking or proof of accommodation
- A Yellow Fever vaccination certificate
- Completed the eVisa application form online.
Ivory Coast Group Visa Application - Practice Tips
Coordination: Assign a group leader to ensure all applications are submitted with consistent details (e.g., same travel dates, accommodation).
Biometric Enrollment: At Abidjan airport, each traveler (except minors under 12) must complete fingerprinting and photo capture. Ensure all group members have printed e-Visa confirmations.
Entry Point: e-Visas are valid only for entry via Abidjan’s Félix-Houphouët-Boigny International Airport. For other entry points (e.g., land borders), apply for consular visas.
For groups: ensure consistency in travel dates and itinerary details across applications to streamline processing.
Consular Visa for Groups (If e-Visa isn’t Suitable)
For groups entering via non-Abidjan entry points or requiring specific visa types (e.g., long-stay or work visas), apply through an Ivory Coast embassy or consulate.
Ivory Coast Group Visa for Family Travel
Families traveling together to the Ivory Coast must still submit separate eVisa applications for each member, including children and infants. The same documentation is required for minors, though birth certificates or parental consent letters may be requested in some cases.
