How to use this checklist
Start with the route facts first: citizenship, residence, application country, destination and purpose. Then review the document rows and order processing only where the row says it is required or optional.
Document requirements
| Document | Status | Scope | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Attend the India Embassy with the real visa file | required | visa application | The Embassy says the applicant presents in person with the recommended papers. This guide follows that Embassy consular channel, not SNEDAI’s separate airport eVisa pre-enrolment, which has different post-approval biometric steps. Confirm current intake time and appointment if any before attending. |
| Original official online-payment receipt | required | visa application | Bring the original receipt for the official online visa payment directed by the India Embassy through SNEDAI. Pay only through the actual Embassy-linked process and verify the current amount; no old fee, agent account or airport eVisa receipt is treated as interchangeable. |
| Completed and signed short-stay visa application | required | visa application | Use the Embassy-linked application and complete the actual purpose, intended stay, address and contact details accurately, then sign. The Embassy-hosted short-stay form distinguishes tourism, business and family/friend visits; do not select a purpose merely because its document list is shorter. |
| One recent 4.5×3.5 cm photo | required | visa application | Include one identity photograph measuring 4.5 by 3.5 cm and taken within six months, as the Embassy specifies. Follow any current submission or background instruction given for the actual appointment. |
| Passport, six-month validity and copies of first three pages | required | visa application | Bring the valid ordinary passport with at least six months remaining and photocopies of its first three pages, including photo and address pages as applicable. Confirm the date from which the receiving officer assesses validity; the Embassy’s current wording does not give a more precise post-trip formula. |
| International yellow-fever vaccination certificate | required | visa application | Carry the genuine international yellow-fever vaccination certificate. Both the India Embassy visa file and Côte d’Ivoire Foreign Ministry current travel advice list yellow-fever vaccination as mandatory. This is a country-specific requirement; Uganda’s October 2026 removal must not be transferred here. |
| Ivorian business invitation | required | visa application | Include the actual company invitation showing the business reason, dates and host details. The India Embassy expressly lists an invitation for its business visa. A company contract or local employment permit is not inferred from this short-visit branch. |
| Confirmed hotel reservation | required | visa application | Include the real hotel reservation for the business visit. The Embassy lists it along with the invitation; do not copy a private-visit host address as a hotel booking. |
| Confirm item-specific document language and authentication | required | visa application | The India Embassy identifies the required categories but does not state a blanket translation or apostille rule for all supporting papers. The private-visit host invitation alone has an explicit mairie legalisation rule. Confirm any individual instruction before ordering translation, certification or photocopy sets. |
