DRC eVisa Overview for the Travellers of Tanzania
Tanzanian travellers heading to the Democratic Republic of the Congo can now complete their visa application online with confidence. The secure digital process ensures a smooth experience, eliminating the need for in-person visits or mailing documents, which can be stressful.
Basic Visa Details
The DRC eVisa lets you enter once and remains valid for 90 days from the
date it is issued. You can stay in the country for up to 7 days. If you
need more time, you can request an extension at the Direction Générale
de Migration offices once you've arrived.
Staff there will review your
situation and decide whether you can stay longer.
How Fast Can You Get It?
Standard processing takes: 11 - 13 Working Days providing
clarity and
helping you plan your trip with confidence.
Rush and rush options:
offer
faster results, giving you control over your order in 8 - 11 Working Days
when needed.
All 2 options give you the same eVisa; you're just paying more for faster service. Keep in mind that holidays and busy periods sometimes push these times a bit longer than expected.
What Documents are You Required to Bring?
Your Passport
Your Tanzanian passport must be valid for at least 6 months after you plan to leave Congo. Border officers check this strictly. Even with an approved eVisa, you'll be turned away if your passport expires before your trip.
Your Photo
Your photo needs to show a neutral face with your mouth closed. Make sure the lighting is even, with no shadows. Use a plain, pale background. The photo must be from the last 6 months. Face the camera straight on with your eyes level.
Applying Step by Step
Ensure all details on your passport match exactly, including names, birth dates, and passport numbers. Double-check your entries to avoid rejection and feel confident in your application process.
Travelling with family or friends? Group applications make things easier. Everyone's application moves through together; you track them all from one place, and everyone gets approved at the same time.
The payment system uses the same security as online banking. You'll get instant notification when the payment goes through. Save the confirmation email; it's your proof and has your tracking number.
Once your application is approved, a PDF will be sent to your email within minutes, providing the official document needed for border entry.
Print several copies and put them in different bags. Save it on your phone and email it to family or friends who can send it back if needed. Keep one copy with your passport.
