๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฎ Does an Ivorian need a visa for Djibouti ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ฏ?

e-Visa ยท up to 31 days

Yes, online (e-Visa). Ivorian passport holders need a visa for Djibouti, and it can be applied for online as an e-Visa before travelling.

Rule updated from Wikipedia's โ€œVisa requirements for Ivorian citizensโ€ (checked 2026-10-04); the older passport-index dataset (January 2025) listed Visa on arrival. Entry rules change: confirm with the embassy of Djibouti or its official government website before you travel.

What this means for your trip

An e-Visa is applied for on the destination's official government website. You upload your passport scan and photo, pay online and receive an approval letter by email.

Apply well before departure and print the approval; use only the official portal, as many look-alike sites charge extra.

Your passport should normally be valid for at least six months beyond your planned departure date and have blank pages for stamps; many countries apply this rule.

Plugs and voltage

Your plugs fit: every plug type used in Ivory Coast (C, E) works with sockets in Djibouti. Mains voltage differs (Djibouti: 220 V; Ivory Coast: 230 V): most phone and laptop chargers accept 100โ€“240 V, but single-voltage devices such as some hair dryers need a converter.
