Visa & Entry

Ethiopian passport holders need a visa to enter the Democratic Republic of Congo. Apply at the DRC embassy in Addis Ababa. The single-entry tourist visa costs around USD 100 and is valid for up to 30 days. Bring two passport photos, a completed application form, proof of accommodation, a yellow fever vaccination certificate, and your flight itinerary. Processing takes 5 to 10 business days.

Your passport must have at least 6 months of validity and 3 blank pages. Yellow fever vaccination is strictly enforced. Immigration officers at N'djili Airport in Kinshasa and Lubumbashi Airport will ask for the ICVP before stamping you in.

There is no reliable eVisa system for the DRC. Some travelers report visa on arrival being available at Kinshasa airport, but this is inconsistent and depends on the officer. Do not rely on it. Get your visa at the embassy before departure to avoid problems at the gate or on arrival.

Verify entry requirements with official sources before travel.
