Understanding the DRC Border Fee (VAP)

Obtaining a DRC eVisa is only part of the entry process. Travelers must also pay the Visa d’Entrée (VAP) upon arrival in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

How the DRC eVisa and VAP Work Together

  • The eVisa is an online pre-approval allowing you to travel to the DRC.
  • The VAP is a physical visa stamp placed in your passport at the border.

What Happens on Arrival

  • Immigration officials issue the VAP stamp, validating your 7-day stay.
  • The VAP fee is paid at the airport, seaport, or land border.

The VAP fee is separate from the online eVisa fee.
Payment is mandatory even if the eVisa fee has already been paid online.
