DRC eVisa Guide for the Citizens of Sweden

What Swedish Travellers Need to Know About the Congo eVisa

• Number of entries: Single entry only.
• How long it remains valid: 90 days from the date of issue.
• Permitted duration in country: Up to 7 days.
• Can you extend your visit ?: Yes, through the Direction Générale de Migration offices, once you've arrived in Congo.

If your itinerary changes and you need more time in the country, the local migration offices can help. They'll review your situation and guide you in extending your authorisation after you land.

How Quickly Can You Get Your eVisa?

The platform offers 3 different speeds to match various travel timelines:

Documents You Will Need for Your Application

Passport Requirements

Your Swedish passport must remain valid for at least 6 months after your planned exit date from the DRC. Immigration officers at the border enforce this requirement without exception. Turning up with insufficient validity will result in denied entry, regardless of your eVisa approval.

Digital Photo Specifications

Expression - Neutral, with mouth closed.
Lighting - Even illumination across the entire face.
Background - Plain, light-coloured surface.
Recency - Taken within the past 6 months.
Focus - Sharp and clear throughout.
Position - Head straight, looking directly at the lens.
Poor-quality photographs are amongst the most common reasons for application delays or rejections, so it's worth taking time to get this right.
Additional requirements also exist for applicants. The most up-to-date information is available on the DRC eVisa Document Requirement page.

Payment Methods

The system accepts all major credit and debit cards through secure, encrypted payment channels. Your card details are processed solely for the transaction and aren't stored afterwards, ensuring your financial information stays protected.

Email Address

You'll receive all updates and your final eVisa document by email, so choose an address you check regularly. 

Step-by-Step Application Process

Filling Out the Form

Input all information exactly as it appears in your passport. Even minor differences between your application and passport can trigger automatic rejection by the system. Double-check spellings, dates, and passport numbers before submitting.

Applying as a Group

• Unified processing: All applications move through the system together.
• Easier tracking: Monitor everyone's progress from one central dashboard.
• Simultaneous approval: The entire group receives authorisation at the same time.

This option works brilliantly for families travelling together, corporate teams attending meetings, or tour groups visiting Congo. It eliminates the hassle of tracking multiple separate applications.

Completing Your Payment

The payment gateway operates under strict security protocols that meet international banking standards. You'll receive instant confirmation once your transaction processes successfully.

Receiving Your Travel Document

After Congolese immigration authorities approve your application, a PDF file arrives in your inbox. Prepare yourself by following these recommendations:

• Print multiple physical copies.
• Keep printouts in your passport holder.
• Store backup copies in different bags.
• Save the PDF to your phone and tablet.
• Email copies to family members or colleagues.

Having redundant copies prevents panic if you misplace one during your journey.
