What is the DRC Ordinary Flying eVisa?

Before you book your flights from Guatemala to Central Africa, you need to understand the specific rules of this digital travel permit. It is designed for short trips and has stringent time limits.

Key Rules for Guatemalan Visitors

  • Entry Deadline: Once your visa is approved, you must arrive in the DRC within 90 days.
  • Length of Stay: This online permit allows you to stay in the country for up to 7 days.
  • Valid Reasons for Travel: You can use this visa for holidays, visiting family, or attending business meetings and workshops.

Important Advice:1 week is a very short window for a country as large as the DRC. If you realise you need to stay longer after you arrive, you cannot extend your stay online. You must visit a Direction Générale de Migration office in a city such as Kinshasa to request an extension.

Documents Needed for Guatemalans

To make sure your application is successful, you must provide clear, high-quality digital copies of your documents. If the files are blurry or dark, the authorities can reject your request.
Passport Scan - A clear colour scan of your main passport page. It must be valid for 6 months after your arrival date.
Digital Photo - A recent passport-style photo with a white background. No hats or glasses are allowed.
Letter of Intent - A typed note explaining why you are visiting and where you will be staying (the hotel or home address).
Business Evidence - If the applicant is travelling for work-related purposes, provide a letter on your company’s letterhead.

Costs and Processing Times for the DRC eVisa

The price of entering the DRC is paid in 2 separate stages. First, you pay a service fee online when you submit your application. Second, you must pay a mandatory entry fee in person when you land at the airport in the DRC.

We offer 3 different speeds to suit your schedule:

  1. Standard Service: Ideal for travellers who have planned their trip months in advance. Your visa will be ready in 11 - 13 Working Days.
  2. Rush Service: A good middle ground in case your trip is only a few weeks away. This takes 8 - 11 Working Days.
  3. Super Rush Service: The fastest choice for urgent business or last-minute plans. You will receive your visa in 5 - 8 Working Days.

How to Apply: A Step-by-Step Guide

The application process for Guatemalan citizens is straightforward and involves only four main steps:

Fill in Your Details

Complete the online form with your full name, passport number, and travel dates. Double-check your spelling, as even a small mistake can cause issues at the border.

Add Family or Friends

If you are travelling with a group from Guatemala, you can add more people to the same application. This allows you to manage everyone’s documents and payments in one place.

Pay the Service Fee

Use a credit or debit card to pay through our secure system. We use advanced encryption to ensure your bank details stay private.

Receive and Print

Once the Congolese government approves your visa, we will send it to your email. You must print a physical copy to show the immigration officers when you land, and it is wise to keep a digital copy on your phone as a backup.
