Where to apply: Lithuania has no mission in Ivory Coast

Guides tell you a visa is required but never warn that there is nowhere to file it — the mission simply does not exist in your country. We picked the nearest countries that do accept applications and measured the distance.

1
Egypt 4,391 km
Applications accepted in: Cairo
2
Israel 4,937 km
Applications accepted in: Tel Aviv
3
Ireland 5,107 km
Applications accepted in: Dublin

Distances are measured between country centroids — a rough guide, not a route. Before you travel, confirm with the chosen consulate that it accepts applicants resident elsewhere: many operate a consular district, and out-of-district applications are not always accepted, often with a longer queue.

Your odds of getting the visa: Ivory Coast → Lithuania
