Modification of consular jurisdiction
From 1 July 2021, consular competence for Togo and Benin is transferred from the Belgian embassy in Abuja to the Belgian embassy in Abidjan. The embassy in Cotonou and the honorary consulate in Lomé will remain your first point of contact in case of difficulties in Benin and Togo, and for your identity and travel documents. Legalisation will also continue in both Cotonou and Lomé. From now on, the Embassy in Abidjan will follow up the nationality and civil status files and draw up deeds. The Embassies of France in Cotonou and Lomé has resumed the issue of short-stay visas for Belgium.

Welcome on the website of the Embassy of Belgium in Abidjan, Akwaba!
We are experiencing a major global health crisis. We sincerely hope that you and your loved ones are well. Governments around the world are taking measures to contain the spread of COVID-19. This is also the case in Belgium, but also in Côte d'Ivoire, Ghana, Liberia and Sierra Leone. This often involves travel restrictions, but also other measures such as closing schools, hygiene measures or banning certain activities.
We therefore invite you to check our travel advice, but also the Embassy's Facebook page. It is also recommended that anyone who is currently abroad should follow the instructions of the local authorities carefully. For the situation in Belgium, we refer to the following website: https://www.info-coronavirus.be/fr/ .
In order to combat the spread of the virus, it has been decided to reinforce the European external borders and to restrict travel to the EU. To have the last update on visa activities, please consult the page 'Visa for Belgium'.
Furthermore, in order to respect the precautionary and social distancing measures that are necessary and in the framework of our mobilization in the fight against the Coronavirus, we inform you that the Embassy of Belgium receives only by appointment, which can be requested by following the following link: Online appointment booking.
We remain mobilized to assist our citizens, in the hope that we will be able to resume our normal services as soon as possible.
Sincerely yours,
Michael Wimmer
Ambassador
