Visa requiredOrdinary passport

Visa required · Visa required before travel and unavailable on arrival; issued visa and border authorisation determine the permitted stay · Australian ordinary-passport holders must obtain a Democratic Republic of the Congo visa before travel. The visa cannot be obtained on arrival, and current Australian government advice directs travellers to contact the nearest DRC mission for the applicable application and issued terms. A valid yellow-fever vaccination certificate is required for entry, and travellers must carry their passport and visa or immigration permit because officials may request them. The official Australia-specific guidance does not publish one dependable ordinary-tourist stay ceiling, so the issued visa and border authorisation control and no numeric maximum is asserted here.
