- Do I have to send you my passport to get a Cote D’Ivoire visa? Is it safe to send a passport? You will need to send your actual passport, not a copy of it. The Cote D’Ivoire visa is stamped on your passport and will become one of your passport pages. Visa requests cannot be processed without your original passport.
