The Republic of Congo Visa Policy

Visitors arriving at the point of entry in the Republic of Congo must have a visa in hand before they are allowed into the country unless they are citizens of countries on the visa-exempt or visa-on-arrival list.

The government of the Republic of Congo has a visa-exempt list containing countries whose citizens are free to visit the country for a short-term regime. The visa in-arrival loss is for visitors who may receive a visa upon arrival. Bear in mind that visitors in both categories are only allowed to stay in the Republic of Congo for a short time.

Visa Exemption

The Republic of Congo has a visa exemption list. Citizens from countries on this list may visit and stay for up to 90 days without visas. Furthermore, Chinese citizens may enter without visas with their normal passports as long as it is marked as "Public Affairs. "Holders of VIP invitations are not required to hold visas either.

Persons with diplomatic and service passports issued by Brazil and Russia may enter the country without visas, while diplomatic passport holders from Turkey and Portugal are free to enter without visas.

Visa On Arrival

The Visa on arrival program is open to a selection of countries, most of which are African countries, including the UAE. This Visa is issued at the point of entry. Eligible visitors must fill out an application form which will be issued to them at the entry point. They must submit the completed form, the application fee, and passports to the officials for approval. By doing so, their passports will be stamped, and they will be free to enter.

Transit Passengers

Passengers traveling through the Republic of Congo e route to another country must have a confirmed onward flight ticket with a departure date for the same day they arrive. They must apply for a transit visa if their flight leaves the next day or a few days later. However, they don't need the transit visa if they intend to remain in the transit area for a flight that will leave on the same day.

eVisa

The Republic of Congo e-Visa program was launched to facilitate the applications for foreigners coming to the country for short visits. Instead of applying to the Congolese embassy in a move that will take a long time, they can apply online for an electronic visa and get feedback within 72 hours. E visas allow holders to stay for 30-90 days, depending on their nationality. They are only issued for a single entry for tourism, business, or transit. There is also an application fee which must be paid before the holder may submit the application form.

Key Information About The Republic of Congo e Visa And Travel Tips

As you plan your trip, here are some travel tips and things you should know about the Republic of Congo e Visa.

Apply Early: Once you've made up your mind to apply for a Republic of Congo e Visa, apply early. 

Applications are approved within 72 hours or less of your application, but this may not be the case if there are delays from the authorities. So we advise you to plan your trip accordingly and apply at least five days before the due date. This will give you a one or two days head start.

Check Your Eligibility:  Before submitting your application, check your eligibility to be sure that you qualify for an electronic visa. This Visa is not open to all foreign nationals, only persons from selected countries. Check the list of e-visa countries to be sure.

Not Available For Groups: Bear in mind that the electronic Visa is not available for tour groups coming from abroad. If you are traveling with your friends or family, you all must apply for the Visa individually rather than collectively. And visas can not be exchanged or transferred between individuals.

Elements of An Invitation Letter: An invitation letter is not required for the application, but the key is demanded at the entry point by border control officers who may want to know the purpose of your visit. If a host has invited you, ask them to send you a signed invitation letter. The letter should bear your name and theirs; it should also contain details of your arrival and exit date, the purpose of your visit, and other key details. The host's personal information should also be included in the letter.

Don't Overstay: Unlike consular visas, which may be long-stay documents, e-visas are meant to be for short stays, so you are not allowed to overstay in the country. Always set a reminder once you enter the country and exit before it expires within 30-90 days of our entry, depending on how many days you are given.

Use The Same Passport: The e-visa is attached to the passport used for the application, so always travel with the same passport, not a different one. Your passport must also be valid for the next six months to cover your visit. If it will expire in less time, apply for a new passport before applying for the e-visa.

Not For Work or Residency: Note that this e-visa is not for work or residency but solely for short-term, noncommercial visits. As an e-visa holder, you are not allowed to seek or hold any form of employment in the Republic of Congo, nor are you allowed to convert your temporary visit into a permanent one on the same Visa. If you must work in the country, get a work or residency visa if you wish to make The Republic of Congo your permanent abode. To do this, you must leave the country first.
