Republic of Cote d'Ivoire
Cote d'Ivoire publishes public visa guidance through SNEDAI, which says it is the only site officially recognised and accredited by the State for visa requests, and publishes stay-title and resident-card procedures through Service Public and ONECI. The route set is conservative: it covers eVisa, embassy biometric visa, provisional stay-title first request and renewal, general resident-card procedure, and family resident-card procedures, while flagging that standalone foreign-worker permit detail was not exposed in the reviewed public source set.
