Côte d'Ivoire visa-free entry for citizens of Chad: 2026 entry rules

No. Holders of a passport from Chad benefit from a visa exemption for a short tourist stay in Côte d’Ivoire. They have no consular appointment or online application to plan. The permitted stay is up to 90 days; for study, work or plans to settle, check with the Ivorian authorities before travelling.

With no visa, there is no processing time to plan for. Still check your passport’s validity early enough to renew it if needed, and reread the entry conditions before departure. Note your date of entry to keep track of the 90 days of permitted stay. The entry stamp, if your passport receives one, serves as a reference.

Your Chadian passport must be valid; the minimum validity required should be checked with the embassy of Côte d’Ivoire. Officers may ask for a return or onward ticket, an accommodation address and proof of sufficient funds. Set your return date so that you stay within the 90-day limit.

As no visa is required, no visa fee is due for this route. Bring your passport, your accommodation and transport bookings, and the health documents the Ivorian authorities may request, to be checked with official sources. For any clarification, contact the embassy of Côte d’Ivoire. Keep these documents together and easy to reach.
