DRC eVisa for Haiti Citizens

Haitian citizens planning a short visit to the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) can now benefit from the official DRC eVisa system, a fully online travel authorization designed to simplify entry procedures. This digital visa eliminates embassy appointments and allows eligible travelers to receive approval before departure, making travel planning smoother and more predictable.

Reasons for Travel Allowed with a DRC eVisa

The DRC eVisa allows short-term visits for flexible purposes, including:

• Tourism and sightseeing
• Business meetings or conferences
• Family or social visits
• Medical travel
• Short transit stays

NOTE: Employment or paid work is strictly prohibited.

Overview: What the DRC eVisa Means for Haitians

The DRC eVisa is an online pre-approval, not a physical visa stamp. It confirms that Haitian passport holders are authorized to travel to the DRC for short stays. Final entry authorization is completed upon arrival through a border stamp known as the VAP (Visa d’Entrée).

Simple Steps to Acquire a DRC eVisa

DRC eVisa Fees and Processing Times

Visa processing times can vary depending on application volume, accuracy of information, supporting documents, and security checks.

Applicants can choose from three service tiers:

• Standard Processing
• Rush Processing
• Super Rush Processing

The total cost depends on the visa type, travel purpose, and selected processing speed. For exact fees and timelines, always consult the DRC eVisa Fees & Processing Times portal.

How does the DRC Border Fee (VAP) function within the eVisa entry process?

Your eVisa allows you to travel to the DRC, but entry is completed after arrival by paying the VAP border fee.

How It Works:

• Apply online and receive your DRC eVisa
• Travel to the DRC by air, land, or sea
• Immigration places a VAP entry stamp in your passport

The VAP stamp confirms your 7-day stay in the DRC.

Important to Know:

• Show your approved eVisa at airline check-in
• The VAP fee is separate from the online eVisa fee
• Paying the VAP at the border is mandatory

Staying Longer Than 7 Days

If you need to extend your stay, you must apply in person at the EMG/DGM Immigration Office inside the DRC. Extension fees depend on the visa type and length of stay.
