Cote D’ Ivoire, also known as Ivory Coast, is a country that is fast modernizing its lifestyle and culture without losing its identity and history. It may not be popular on travel bucket lists but it is one for the books and for information on if Nigerians need a visa to visit Ivory Coast, you have come to the right source.
Do Nigerians Need a Visa to Visit Ivory Coast
As a Nigerian passport holder, Cote D’ Ivoire is visa-free for a stay of up to 90 days (three months). How come? Ivory Coast, the English name for Cote D’ Ivoire, is a member country of the ECOWAS agreement.
Visa-free travel is the ability to visit a country without having to complete lengthy visa procedures. Nationals of a country can have visa-free travel to another country if the governments of those two countries signed an agreement to that effect, or if the receiving country unilaterally opened its borders. Although a country maybe visa free, you still want to have on a means of identification as it maybe required of you (better safe than sorry!) Best to always have on your ECOWAS passport as a Nigerian

My No 1 Safety Tip for Travel
There are some local travel insurance companies in Nigeria like AXA Mansard and Allianz Nigeria. I prefer to use international insurance companies in order to receive the same dollar value of the loss because the local companies reimburse in Naira, which is not so great with the ever-fluctuating currency.
My current preferred option is SafetyWings
