Democratic Republic of the Congo Business Visa Requirements

[00:00 - 00:08]

If you're traveling to the Democratic Republic of Congo for business, the business e-visa, also known as the ordinary flying visa, is the one you need.

[00:08 - 00:17]

This visa covers short business trips only. You can attend meetings, meet partners, or explore trade opportunities. It does not allow employment.

[00:18 - 00:24]

Anyone holding a passport from an eligible country can apply as long as the purpose of the visit is strictly business.

[00:25 - 00:36]

You'll need to upload a few simple documents: your passport bio page, a recent photo, the ID of the person inviting you, a request letter from the company, and a business invitation letter.

[00:37 - 00:46]

Applying is straightforward. Fill out the online form and select business. Upload your documents, pay the fee, and wait for your approved e-visa to arrive by email.

[00:47 - 00:52]

Processing usually takes 7 to 10 working days. Faster options are available if you need it sooner.

[00:53 - 01:00]

Once approved, the visa is valid for 90 days, allows a single entry, and lets you stay for up to 7 days.

[01:01 - 01:08]

Just print a copy and carry it with you. That's all you need for a smooth business trip to the DRC. Apply early and travel with confidence.
