Cost note

SNEDAI publishes EUR 73 including bank charges for the airport eVisa/pre-enrolment route. A refusal is non-refundable.

Passport and transit notes

Passport validity: SNEDAI ties its six-month ordinary-passport statement to the eVisa application stage rather than to arrival or departure. No numeric travel-date anchor or blank-page minimum is therefore encoded here.; Validity source (opens in a new tab) Validity guide
Transit recommendation: airside transit: conditional; landside transit: required; The reviewed SNEDAI and mission pages do not publish a universal airside-transit waiver. This is a conservative route warning rather than a published transit exemption; crossing border control uses the normal entry rule.; Related source (opens in a new tab) Transit guide

What you need

Iraqi ordinary passport with the validity required by SNEDAI at application
Approved SNEDAI pre-enrolment document before boarding
Original visa-fee registration receipt

Why this verdict

Iraqi ordinary-passport holders use SNEDAI's official pre-enrolment and Abidjan-airport biometric eVisa route for a short visit. The current page publishes the EUR 73 fee, required upload set, three-month multiple-entry visa and airport issuance after approval. Work, residence, study, official travel, non-airport arrival and special documents require route-specific confirmation.

Conditional rules

Embassy biometric visa instead of airport eVisa/pre-enrolment Visa required

Up to 90 days. Ivorian missions publish a separate in-person biometric visa route. It is not the same as SNEDAI airport pre-enrolment.
Work, study, residence, official duty, diplomatic/service passport or another non-short-visit purpose Visa required

The ordinary airport eVisa summary does not replace the purpose- and document-specific route.
Passport does not meet the application-validity rule Visa required

SNEDAI states that the online application is for an ordinary passport with at least six months of validity at the application stage.
Arrival outside the Abidjan airport eVisa enrolment route Conditional

SNEDAI describes biometric enrolment and visa issuance at Abidjan airport after approved pre-enrolment. Confirm a mission or border-specific route for another entry point.

Visa / authorization details

Entry options: Multiple entries
Processing time: SNEDAI says document verification can exceed 48 working hours, even though the following procedure step describes a response within 48 working hours. Apply early and do not treat 48 hours as guaranteed.
