  • Travel Timeline: You must enter the DRC within 90 days of receiving your digital approval.
  • Trip Duration: This specific entry permit is valid for a maximum stay of 7 days.

Business Proof - For work trips, include an official invite from a DRC company or a letter from your Nigerian employer.
