Important Rules for the Airport eVisa

Before booking your flights to the DRC, keep these three vital rules in mind regarding the electronic permit:

  • Arrival Deadline: You have a 90-day window to enter the country once your document is approved.
  • Duration: This specific online permit grants a stay of no more than 7 days.
  • Staying Longer: You cannot renew this permit online. If your trip lasts more than a week, you must visit the local immigration office (DGM) immediately after landing to register for a longer stay.

Items Needed for Your Application

Valid Passport: A scan of your Nicaraguan passport photo page. It must be valid for 6 months after your arrival date.
Recent Photo: A clear, colour digital portrait with a plain white background.
Travel Letter: A simple note outlining your flight dates, where you are staying, and why you are visiting.
Work Details: Only for business travellers. You will need a formal invitation or a letter from your company for the Congolese authorities.

Timing and Service Fees

The total price of your visa consists of an online service fee and a separate entry tax paid at the airport. You can select one of 3 processing speeds based on how quickly you need your documents:

  • Standard: 11 - 13 Working Days
  • Rush: 8 - 11 Working Days
  • Super Rush: 5 - 8 Working Days

Step-by-Step Instructions

Submit Details

Enter your personal data into the online form. Double-check that your name is spelt exactly as it appears on your passport.

Joint Applications

You can add fellow Nicaraguan travellers to your submission to manage the group together.

Digital Payment

Settle the service charge using a secure debit or credit card.

Arrival Preparation

Once your approval arrives by email, you must print a paper copy. The border officers in the DRC will not accept a digital version shown on a mobile screen.
