DRC eVisa Guide for the Citizens of Swaziland

Digital Travel Permit for Eswatini Passport Holders

Travellers from Eswatini heading to the Democratic Republic of the Congo benefit from a fully online authorisation system. The digital platform eliminates the need for consulate visits or document posting, allowing you to handle everything from your computer.

eVisa Terms and Conditions

  • Entry Type: Single entry only.
  • Validity Period: 90 days from issue.
  • Permitted Stay: Up to 7 days.
  • Extensions: Available through the Direction Générale de Migration offices

If circumstances require an extended visit, approach the migration department upon landing. Officials will review your situation and advise on how to prolong your authorisation.

Processing Speed Options

  • Standard Processing Speed: 11 - 13 Working Days - Meant for planners in advance.
  • Rush Processing Speed: 8 - 11 Working Days - Moderate urgency.
  • Super Rush Processing Speed: 5 - 8 Working Days - Urgent departures.

All tiers grant identical travel rights; the difference lies purely in turnaround time. Build extra days into your schedule for unexpected delays or public holidays.
