Cote d'Ivoire: Business Visa Processing Delays Expected

The Ivory Coast immigration authorities have announced business visa processing times have increased to two to four weeks from the date of submission, up from two to three business days, while the country hosts the 2024 Africa Cup from January 13 to February 11, 2024. In order to mitigate these circumstances, travelers are urged to submit business visa applications in advance and be prepared for possible delays until the end of February, which may affect travel times and entry to the Ivory Coast.
