Why this verdict
Australian citizens are encoded through SNEDAI's official Cote d'Ivoire eVisa / airport enrolment route because this launched ordinary passport is not in the directly verified ECOWAS/CEDEAO identity-title cohort. Embassy biometric-visa and special-document routes are kept separate from the ordinary airport eVisa answer. This destination-wave matrix record is intentionally conservative: ordinary passport, short tourism/visitor travel only. Work, study, residence, diplomatic/service passports, official duty, non-tourist visits, non-airport arrival routes, health rules, carrier checks, border discretion and the live SNEDAI/DST validation flow can change the practical answer. Reconfirm with SNEDAI, Ivorian authorities or an Ivorian mission before booking.
Conditional rules
- Traveller is a Ghanaian or Nigerian ECOWAS/CEDEAO national using the official identity-title stay route Visa-free
The official communique lists Ghana and Nigeria among ECOWAS/CEDEAO countries and says nationals stay in Cote d'Ivoire with identity titles issued by their countries. The checked text does not publish a universal stay cap.
- Embassy biometric visa instead of airport eVisa/pre-enrolment Visa required
Up to 90 days. The UK embassy page lists an embassy biometric-visa route with a EUR 58 payment certificate and in-person enrolment. This is separate from the SNEDAI airport eVisa route.
- Work, study, residence, official duty, diplomatic/service passport or other non-tourist purpose Visa required
This row is for ordinary-passport short visits only. Use the appropriate Ivorian mission, SNEDAI or government route for non-tourist, residence or special-document travel.
- Passport is not valid for at least six months Visa required
SNEDAI and Ivorian mission pages describe a six-month passport-validity requirement for the ordinary eVisa/visa route.
- Arrival outside the airport eVisa enrolment route Conditional
SNEDAI describes airport enrolment after approved pre-enrolment. Non-airport or embassy-handled routes should be confirmed through the relevant Ivorian mission or the live official flow.
