Tourism visa requests should be done in advance of arriving in the country. Business visas require an invitation of a Côte d’Ivoire-based entity and in some cases proof of employment. Business visas are often multi-entry and last 90 days, but can be granted for a one-year period. The country follows a “continuous working day” policy, with business hours from around 8.00am to 4.00pm. Lunch is generally between noon and 2.00pm. In the private sector, working days follow regular European hours with later closing times, especially for foreign firms.
