Essential Rules for the Flying eVisa

This specific electronic permit is designed for travellers arriving at international airports. Before finalising your itinerary, please note these 3 conditions:

  • Entry Window: You must enter the DRC within 90 days of receiving your approval.
  • Length of Stay: This online visa is valid for up to 7 days.
  • Extended Visits: This permit cannot be extended online. If you intend to stay longer than a week, you are required to register in person with the local Direction Générale de Migration office the moment you arrive.

Required Paperwork for New Zealand

New Zealanders should prepare clear digital scans of the following items to ensure a smooth application process:

  1. Passport Bio-Page: A colour scan of your New Zealand passport. Ensure it remains valid for at least 6 months beyond your planned arrival date.
  2. Digital Photograph: A recent, clear photo of yourself taken against a plain white background.
  3. Statement of Intent: A brief letter explaining your travel plans, including your accommodation details and flight schedule.
  4. Business Documentation: Only necessary for professional trips. You will need a formal letter from your employer or a Congolese host to present to the DGM authorities.

Processing Options and Costs for New Zealand Citizens

The total cost includes a digital service charge paid at the time of application and an additional entry fee paid upon arrival at the airport. You can choose a processing speed that fits your timeline:

Standard Processing Time: 11 - 13 Working Days
Rush Processing Time: 8 - 11 Working Days
Super Rush Processing Time: 5 - 8 Working Days

The Application Process

Data Entry

Fill in your personal information. Your name must match the spelling on your passport exactly.

If you are travelling with other New Zealanders, you can add them to a single application to keep your group together.

Payment

Use a credit or debit card to pay the service fee via our protected portal.

Final Step

Once approved, your document will be sent via email. You must print a physical copy to show at the border, as digital versions on phones are not accepted by immigration.
