About Côte d'Ivoire
Whether you’re looking to visit, live or work in Côte D'Ivoire—we can support your immigration needs at every stage of your journey.
If you’re a foreign national looking to visit, live and/or work in Côte d'Ivoire, a few options are available.
- Business Visits: As a business visitor, you'll need to secure a Visa d'Affaires from an Ivorian consular post before your travel. This visa allows you to conduct business activities in Côte d'Ivoire for up to 90 days.
- Work Authorization: The main work authorization category is the Expatriate Work Contract Visa. You'll need to be on a fixed-term or permanent employment contract in Côte d'Ivoire to qualify. Work authorization can be renewed each year, provided you continue to be employed by a locally registered company.
- Internships/Traineeships: There is no trainee-specific work authorization category in Côte d'Ivoire.
- Self-employment: There are no work authorization programs for potential investors or entrepreneurs in Côte d'Ivoire.
Fragomen can also consult on citizenship matters and, as permitted within the confines of local law, may be able to offer citizenship assistance.
