DRC eVisa for Moldova Citizens
Moldovan citizens planning a short trip to the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) can now take advantage of the official DRC eVisa system. This online authorization streamlines entry by removing the need for embassy visits and lengthy paperwork, giving travelers approval before departure and making trip planning more predictable.
Overview: What the DRC eVisa Means for Moldovans
The eVisa is an online pre‑approval rather than a physical visa stamp. It confirms that Moldovan passport holders are authorized to travel to the DRC for short stays. Final entry is granted upon arrival through the VAP (Visa d’Entrée) border stamp.
- Visa Type : Ordinary Flying eVisa
- Entries : Single
- Maximum Stay : 7 Days
- Validity : 90 Days
For the complete and most up‑to‑date list, applicants should always refer to the DRC eVisa documents portal.
