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- airside transit: conditional; landside transit: required; The reviewed SNEDAI and mission pages do not publish a universal airside-transit waiver.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.

What you need
- Swedish ordinary passport with the validity required by SNEDAI at application
- Approved SNEDAI pre-enrolment document before boarding
- Original visa-fee registration receipt
- Return flight reservation
- Invitation letter or accommodation certificate
- International yellow-fever vaccination certificate
Why this verdict
Swedish 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.
