Ive been researching for my trip, and it seems that the carnet is no good for CI, you need a laissez passez. I beleive you need to get this in adcance at an embassy, though I read one report where he entered and the officials accompanied him to the next big town to obtain it.
As for the visa, hoping that Ouattara will make life easier. As it stands, you need a letter of invitation, or a confirmed hotel reservation stamped by local police. Some people still manage to get the Visa D'Entente, but whether the Ivorians will honour it once you get to the border? Who knows.
This is all info I have guaged from researching for my trip, so if you find out anything different please let us know!
