- The competent post is the one accredited for Côte d'Ivoire, which is not always the nearest one geographically.

- Appointments are booked with the post or the centre directly. A slot is never sold, and no one can guarantee one.
What if Mexico has no embassy in Côte d'Ivoire?

Confirm which post is competent with the official source before travelling to a third country to apply, a rejected file at the wrong counter costs the trip and the fee.
You live in Côte d'Ivoire on another passport?
