Ireland visa for Ivorian citizens

For the tourist visa, Ireland’s official sources give a standard fee of €60, and applications are made on visas.inis.gov.ie. Processing time, as Ireland states it: Decisions are made in date order; the general guide is about 8 weeks from the date the visa office receives the file, longer if documents are missing or need checking. Longest stay on the tourist visa: Up to 90 days; the immigration officer at the border writes the permitted date on the landing stamp and may give less.

Measured from Yamoussoukro, Irish embassies and consulates are closest in Monrovia, Liberia (611 km), Freetown, Sierra Leone (900 km) and Abuja, Nigeria (1,427 km). Which post accepts applications from residents of Ivory Coast is decided by Ireland, so confirm it with the mission or the official visa portal before booking an appointment.
