Cote d'Ivoire runs an online visa for ordinary passports. The fee is EUR 73, valid 3 months with multiple entry, and your biometrics are taken when you land. From Dubai we do the filing part: we complete the request, check the three documents, with extra care for the invitation letter.

The invitation letter
The page says one missing document means automatic rejection. The three are the passport identity pages, a round-trip flight booking, and an invitation letter or accommodation certificate. The letter must be typed, printed, signed, stamped and legalised, then uploaded. Each file must be under 1 MB. We read your letter before we file.
What the UAE does not change
We found no page that gives UAE residents a special rule for Cote d'Ivoire. The rule follows your passport. Your Emirates ID matters for your flight out and back, not for the visa. Keep your residence valid for your return, and see the general visas from Dubai hub.
Health and cash
UK government advice requires a yellow fever vaccination certificate. It also says cash above 500,000 West African CFA francs must not be carried undeclared.
How it works with us
Send us your passport page, the flight dates and your host's details on WhatsApp. We tell you whether your letter is good enough and give one total price. After you agree we file, track the reply and send you the approved document. You still give fingerprints at Abidjan airport, because nobody can do that for you. We are a private visa service, and the Cote d'Ivoire authority decides.
SNEDAI says there is no refund if a request is refused. Before you pay us, your adviser says in writing what part of our total would come back.
