DRC eVisa for Latvia Citizens

Latvian nationals can now enter the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) more easily through the online eVisa system, which provides advance travel authorization without embassy visits or paperwork. It’s a practical solution for short, planned trips. The eVisa creates a direct link between Latvia and the DRC by simplifying cross-border travel and encouraging cultural and business exchange. It allows Latvian travelers to focus on planning their journey and exploring the DRC’s natural and cultural attractions with confidence.

The eVisa is a digital travel authorization issued before departure. Once approved, Latvian travelers can fly to the DRC and complete entry procedures at the border.

What Happens When You Arrive in DRC

Your eVisa serves as pre‑approval, but final entry is completed inside the DRC. Upon arrival:

• Pay the VAP (Visa d’Entrée) fee at immigration
• Receive your entry stamp, which activates your 7‑day stay

This border fee is separate from the online eVisa payment.

Extending Your Stay

If you need more than 7 days, you must request an extension inside the DRC at the EMG/DGM immigration office. Fees vary depending on the extension requested.
