Verified practical details
You'll need to apply for a visa at a consulate or embassy before travelling. Here are the practical details we've verified:
Authorisation system
Consular visa, before travel
The visa has to be obtained before travel, from an embassy or consulate of the Republic of the Congo. The DRC Embassy in Brazzaville does not issue visas to foreigners who do not live in the Republic of the Congo, so anyone continuing to Kinshasa has to get that visa from home.
Required documents
- Passport valid for the whole stay, with no extra margin.
- A visa obtained before travel.
- International vaccination certificate for yellow fever and, according to the UK Government, polio.
Transit rules
Because of the Ebola outbreak centred in the DRC, which the WHO has declared a public health emergency of international concern, travellers may face enhanced health screening on arrival. Spain's Foreign Ministry recommends always carrying identity documents, not travelling by road alone and taking extra care in the Pool region and on the borders with the DRC and the Central African Republic. From October to June many roads are passable only by four-wheel drive.
