The Border Step Many Travellers Miss: VAP Explained

Your approved eVisa is not the final entry stamp.

On arrival in the DRC

Immigration issues a Visa d’Entrée (VAP) stamp in your passport.
The VAP confirms your 7-day stay.
The VAP fee must be paid at the border.

Please remember

  • The VAP fee is separate from the online eVisa payment.
  • Entry is not completed until the VAP is issued.
  • Stay extensions are handled only by EMG/DGM immigration offices using your eVisa approval.
