Processing takes 24 to 72 hours and the visa must be used to enter the UAE within 60 days of issue.

Do Ivory Coast passport holders need a Dubai visa?

Unless a passport qualifies for visa on arrival, a prearranged tourist visa is required, and that is what we provide. Some passports are stamped on arrival instead, and the list of eligible countries is updated periodically. We confirm the current position for Ivory Coast passports on WhatsApp so that nobody pays for a visa they do not need.

What a Dubai visa costs from Dubai

Here is the September 2026 price list for Ivory Coast passport holders:

• 30 day tourist visa, single entry: AED 450
• 60 day single entry: AED 650
• 30 day multiple entry: AED 800
• 60 days, multiple entry: AED 1,000

No tourist visa shorter than 30 days is available. All visa fees, including our service fee, are not refundable if immigration rejects the application, because the government charge is paid at submission.

Does a Ivory Coast passport need a deposit?

Some passports are asked for a refundable security deposit. It is separate from the visa price above, it is refunded after the visitor exits the UAE, and we will confirm on WhatsApp whether it applies to Ivory Coast passports and how much it is.

Payment options

For UAE residents applying on behalf of Ivory Coast family or friends, payment can be spread with Tabby up to 12 months, Tamara on extendable terms, or a UAE credit card over 3, 6, 9 or 12 months according to the bank. All other applicants receive a secure online payment link.

What Ivory Coast citizens need to send us

WhatsApp us the following and expect an eligibility answer within about an hour:

1. A clear scan of your Ivory Coast passport, both the data page and the back cover, with at least six months validity. Missing back covers cause most resubmissions.
2. A recent colour photograph, white background, passport dimensions, no glasses.
3. A two way air ticket. If you have not booked flights yet, we can book them for you.
4. For minors, a birth certificate. For a few nationalities, a copy of the national ID card is also required.

Depending on nationality, a six month bank statement may be requested. If that applies to Ivory Coast applicants, a UAE resident family member can provide theirs instead. On arrival, immigration may request evidence of funds, so have a bank card or cash to hand.

Guarantor documents

For sponsored applications the UAE resident supplies a passport copy and residence visa page valid for six months, both sides of their Emirates ID, and the online guarantee form at applyvisa.app. A family member’s UAE bank statement can replace the visitor’s statement if one is required, though friends cannot substitute theirs.

The application process step by step

1. Send your documents on WhatsApp to +971 52 292 1011 or +971 4 220 2133. We check them the same day and tell you which visa suits your travel dates.
2. Make the payment through the link we send. The application goes to immigration as soon as payment clears and documents are approved.
3. We file with immigration and follow up. Typical turnaround for Ivory Coast citizens is 24 to 72 hours, subject to immigration’s discretion.
4. We forward the visa PDF on WhatsApp. Keep it with your passport for the airline counter and arrival immigration.

Validity and duration of stay

The visa must be used to enter the UAE within 60 days of the date of issue. Your permitted stay runs from the entry stamp, not from the issue date. Single entry means one arrival only, while multiple entry allows repeated exits and returns during the validity period, useful for side trips to Oman, Saudi Arabia or Qatar. Employment is not permitted on a tourist visa.

No grace period and the AED 50 daily fine

UAE visit and tourist visas have no grace period after expiry. Every day beyond expiry costs AED 50, whichever emirate issued the visa, starting immediately. Overstays beyond 30 days additionally require an exit permit of roughly AED 250 to 300. We send Ivory Coast clients a reminder on WhatsApp before the visa expires so that you can extend or exit in time.

Visa extension without leaving the UAE

Extensions of 30 days are available three times on a 30 day visa and twice on a 60 day visa, with no exit needed. The overall ceiling is 120 days of stay. Once you reach the maximum, you must exit and re enter, either through an airport to airport visa change or by bus to Oman. Extension applications must be submitted before the current visa expires, so contact us with at least a week remaining.

Sharjah visa option

A Sharjah issued 60 day single entry visa is available at AED 1,200 with no security deposit. It is valid for the whole UAE, including Dubai and Abu Dhabi. We will advise on WhatsApp whether this suits Ivory Coast citizens better than the standard visa.

How to keep your application on track

• Leaving out the back cover, which immigration requires alongside the data page.
• Less than six months on the passport. Immigration will not approve the visa in that case.
• Poor quality scans. Make sure the whole page is visible and readable.
• Previous overstays, unpaid fines or improperly cancelled visas. Tell us about any past UAE history so we can advise honestly before you pay.
• Passports bearing a single name, which require a supporting document before we can apply.
• Booking flights before the visa is approved without allowing enough processing time.
