Official wording

2. Visa pour la Côte d’Ivoire pour un citoyen RwandaisConfère Accord entre le gouvernement rwandais et la République de Côte d’Ivoire relatif à l’Exemption de l'obligation de visa (visa waiver agreements).

Aevamo’s reading

This annexe is part of the interministerial arrêté n°093/MEMIS/MEMAE/MPMCEF du 15 mars 2013 fixing the conditions for establishing and issuing the biometric visa; it is the operative instrument that states which nationals are subject to the visa obligation and which are exempt, rather than a summary describing the rule.

The Ivorian Honorary Consulate in Rwanda's own visa page directs a Rwandan citizen travelling to Côte d'Ivoire to the bilateral visa-waiver agreement ('Accord ... relatif à l'Exemption de l'obligation de visa') rather than to the visa-application procedure — the Côte d'Ivoire side's official statement that the visa exemption applies to Rwandan citizens.

What this answer covers Limits & assumptions

Work and residence rights are separate from this check. This is the entry rule and the length of stay the instrument grants. It is not a decision about you: the officer at the border decides admission, and we do not evaluate the purpose of your trip, your passport's remaining validity, an onward ticket, funds, insurance or health requirements.
