The DRC Ordinary Flying eVisa: Core Facts for Gambian Travellers
For Gambian citizens planning a trip to the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the Ordinary Flying eVisa offers a simple, reliable option to apply for online, easing your travel preparations.
- eVisa Expiry Limit: This is valid for up to90 days after the date it is issued.
- The Duration of Stay: This allows applicants to stay in the DRC for 7 days per entry.
- Permitted Activities: Tourism, business meetings, and visiting family or friends, among other activities.
Important Note: The DRC eVisa is valid for 90 days from issuance, but most travellers find they need more than 7 Days. If you plan to stay longer than 7 days, you must visit a DGM office in a city like Kinshasa to request an extension once you arrive, as the eVisa itself cannot be extended online.
