DRC eVisa for Guyana Citizens

Citizens of Guyana can now plan travel to the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) more conveniently through the DRC eVisa system. This online process removes the need for embassy visits and allows eligible travelers to obtain travel authorization before departure. Once approved, visitors can enter the DRC through air, land, or sea borders for short stays.

What Is the DRC eVisa for Guyanese Travelers?

The DRC eVisa is an online pre-approval that confirms you are eligible to travel to the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It is designed for short-term visits and must be obtained before boarding your flight. The final entry authorization is completed on arrival with a border stamp known as the VAP (Visa d’Entrée).

Permitted Reasons for Travel

Guyana passport holders may use the DRC eVisa for several short-term purposes, including:

Important: Employment, paid work, or long-term stays are not allowed under the DRC eVisa. Applicants must clearly declare their travel purpose in the application form.

DRC Weather

The Democratic Republic of the Congo has a tropical climate. Expect hot and humid conditions along the equator, with heavy rainfall from September to May. The southern regions are drier and cooler, while the Congo River basin remains consistently warm. Pack light clothing and rain gear if traveling.

If You Need to Stay Longer Than 7 Days

You must apply for an extension directly at the immigration office (EMG/DGM) with a copy of your eVisa approval. Extension fees depend on your visa type and length of stay.

Understanding the DRC Border Fee (VAP)

Obtaining your eVisa is only part of the process. All travelers must also pay the VAP border fee on arrival.

How the Process Works

• Apply for and receive your eVisa online
• Travel to the DRC via air, land, or sea
• Immigration issues a VAP stamp in your passport

The VAP confirms your 7-day legal stay in the country.

Key Points to Remember:

• You must present your approved eVisa at airline check-in
• The VAP fee is separate from the online eVisa fee
• The VAP is mandatory and paid upon arrival
• Extensions are handled only by EMG/DGM (Immigration) inside the DRC
