DRC Ordinary Flying Visa

The DRC Ordinary Flying Visa refers to the ordinary visa volant, or short-stay travel visa, used for eligible foreign nationals entering the Democratic Republic of the Congo for temporary purposes. DRC diplomatic guidance lists travel, tourism, business, and family visits among short-stay purposes, with requirements varying according to the activity. Applicants generally need a valid passport, completed application form, passport photograph, invitation or guarantee, return travel evidence, and other supporting documents. The DRC eVisa FAQ also identifies the ordinary flying visa as one of the electronic visa categories available through the official platform. Travelers should not use a short-stay visa for paid employment, as employment requires the appropriate authorization. Applicants should confirm the permitted stay, entry conditions, and applicable fee with the responsible DRC authority before traveling.
