Understanding the DRC Border Fee (VAP)

The DRC Border Fee (VAP) is a mandatory requirement for travellers entering the Democratic Republic of the Congo with an approved eVisa.

  1. The eVisa serves only as a pre-travel authorisation.
  2. The VAP officially confirms permission to enter and stay.
  3. The VAP fee is separate from the eVisa payment and is paid upon arrival.

What to Expect at Immigration

Upon arrival at an official point of entry, an immigration officer will verify your approved eVisa, collect the required VAP border fee, and stamp your passport with the VAP, confirming your authorised 7-day stay in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
