DRC eVisa Guide for the Citizens of Gabon

The Democratic Republic of the Congo has introduced an online travel authorisation system for citizens of Gabon. The system allows applicants to complete and manage the process remotely.

By moving the process online, embassy visits and physical paperwork are no longer required. This allows Gabonese travellers to apply for travel to the DRC more efficiently.
