Is there a departure tax or fee when leaving Ivory Coast?

Yes, there is a departure tax or fee for travelers when leaving Ivory Coast (Côte d'Ivoire). This tax is paid at the airport of departure and is known as the Embarkation Tax for international flights outside Africa. The amount varies depending on your destination:

Destinations in Africa: XOF 3,000.
Destinations outside Africa: XOF 5,000.

Domestic Flights:

If you are taking a domestic flight within the Ivory Coast:

From Abidjan Airport to destinations in Cote d'Ivoire: XOF 800.
From any airport to destinations in Cote d'Ivoire: XOF 600.

For most international flights, the departure tax is already included in the ticket price, so most travelers do not need to pay it separately at the airport. However, it’s always a good idea to confirm this with your airline or travel agent to avoid any surprises.
