Key Details About Your Travel Document

  • Document Lifespan: Valid for90 days following approval.
  • Maximum Stay: 7 days continuously.
  • Entry Type: Single entry permitted.
  • Extending Your Visit: Speak with the Direction Générale de Migration after landing.

Choose Your Processing Timeline

Sierra Leone travellers select from 3 distinct speed options based on personal schedules:

Standard
11 - 13 Working Days. Travellers planning well in advance with flexible schedules.
Rush
8 - 11 Working Days. Those requiring faster results whilst managing budget considerations.
Super Rush
5 - 8 Working Days. Last-minute arrangements or time-sensitive business commitments.

Each tier provides identical authorisation validity and entry rights; the only variation concerns how rapidly officials process your submission. Always account for potential administrative holdups regardless of which speed you select.

Essential Documents for Sierra Leone Applicants

Getting your documents ready before starting saves time and prevents frustration. Seychelles applicants should gather:

  • Sierra Leone Passport: MMust remain valid for at least 6 months beyond your planned departure from Congo.
  • Recent Photograph: Colour image conforming to international passport photo standards.
  • Payment Method: Either a credit or a debit card is accepted.
  • Email Account: Working email for official communications and document delivery.
  • Supporting Documents: Employer reference letters or business invitations (if you are intending to travel for professional purposes).

(Important Note) - Having everything prepared beforehand eliminates frustrating delays during the application process.

Step-by-Step Application Process

Providing Your Personal Information

Input all details precisely as they appear within your Sierra Leone passport. This covers your complete legal name, date of birth, passport identification number, and issuance date. Double-check each field before proceeding; mismatches between your passport and application trigger automatic rejections.

Adding Fellow Travellers

Groups travelling together benefit from submitting a single collective application rather than individual ones. Families, colleagues, or tour groups find this particularly convenient for maintaining consistent travel arrangements and simplifying communication.

Securing Your Payment

Financial transactions occur through secure payment gateways that employ advanced encryption. The system accepts major international credit and debit cards whilst ensuring your sensitive banking information remains confidential. Card details are never permanently stored after purchase completion.

Collecting Your Approved Authorisation

Immigration officials send your approved travel document electronically in PDF format directly to your registered email address. This usually arrives once Congolese authorities have completed their verification procedures and granted final approval.
