e-VisaOrdinary passport

e-Visa · Advance electronic visa approval required; the issued Congolese permission determines the authorised stay · A Republic of Korea ordinary-passport holder is not eligible for visa-free entry to the Democratic Republic of the Congo and must obtain authorisation before travelling. The Korean Ministry of Foreign Affairs identifies the DRC immigration eVisa service and warns that arriving without a visa or prior approval can result in refusal of entry, even though an approved permission may be finalised at the border. This is therefore classified as advance electronic authorisation rather than an unconditional visa on arrival. The issued decision controls validity and stay, and no universal numeric tourism maximum is inferred here.
