Understanding the DRC Ordinary Flying eVisa

Before you depart from Bissau, it is essential to understand how this specific digital permit works. It is designed for short-term entry and has particular rules regarding your length of stay and arrival dates.

  • The 90-Day Start Window: Once approval has been received, you have precisely 90 days to enter the DRC. Planning your trip accordingly ensures your visa remains valid and avoids rejection.
  • The 7-Day Stay Limit: This eVisa is valid for a stay of up to 1 week. It is ideal for quick business meetings or short holidays.
  • Permitted Activities: You can use this visa for tourism, visiting family members, or attending professional conferences and workshops.

Important Note on Extensions: If 7 days are insufficient, you must visit a Direction Générale de Migration office in Kinshasa or another city to request an extension in person, as online renewal is not available.

Required Paperwork for Guinea-Bissau Citizens

To ensure your application is successful, provide high-quality digital copies of your documents. Clear, well-lit scans of your passport's main page and other documents prevent delays or rejections caused by poor image quality.

  1. Passport Details - You need a clear, colour scan of the main page of your passport. Ensure that your passport is valid for at least 6 months from the date you plan to land in the DRC.
  2. Digital Photograph - A recent, passport-style photo is required. It must feature a plain white background. Please ensure your face is evident without any headwear or tinted glasses.
  3. Cover Letter - You must write a brief letter explaining why you are travelling. Mention your intended destination and where you will be staying, such as a specific hotel or a private residence.
  4. Business Evidence - If your trip is for work, you must provide a letterhead from your company. This should be on formal company letterhead and explain the nature of your business in the DRC.

Processing Times and Costs

The total price for entering the DRC consists of 2 parts: a service fee paid during the online application and an entry fee paid upon arrival at the airport.

We can provide 3 different processing speeds to suit your schedule:

How to Apply: A Simple 4-Step Process

Following these steps will help you secure your travel permit without any stress:

Complete the Online Form

Provide your full name, passport number, and travel dates. Double-check every entry for spelling mistakes. Even a small error in your passport number can cause significant problems when you reach the border.

Add Fellow Travellers

If you are travelling with a group or family members from Guinea-Bissau, you can include them in the same application. This keeps all your documents together and simplifies the payment process.

Make a Secure Payment

Use a credit or debit card to pay the service fee. Our website uses advanced encryption technology to ensure your bank details and personal information remain safe.

Print and Carry Your Visa

Once the Congolese authorities approve your stay, the visa will be sent to your email. You must print a physical copy of this document. While keeping a digital copy on your phone is a good backup, the border officers will require the physical version.
