Andorra to Congo (Dem. Rep.) visa requirements

Q: How do I apply for the DRC eVisa?

Apply on the official portal evisa.gouv.cd: complete the form, upload the required passport, travel, host/accommodation, and vaccination documents, then pay the portal-displayed fees.

Q: What does the DRC tourist visa cost?

For the online route, use the fee shown by the official portal; the portal also states that the displayed visa price excludes a non-refundable USD 50 administrative cost. Embassy sticker visa fees are separate and vary by visa type.

Q: Do I need a yellow fever vaccination?

Yes. A valid yellow fever vaccination certificate is compulsory for entry into the DRC and is checked at the border.

Q: How long does eVisa processing take?

Processing varies by portal or mission. Do not rely on unsupported rush tiers; submit well in advance. Consular visa applications should allow at least 2-3 weeks.

Q: Is there a true visa-on-arrival for tourists?

Do not travel without prior authorization. The online eVisa / visa volant route is a pre-approval flow, and arrival formalities or charges may still apply at the point of entry.

Andorran ordinary passport holders need a visa for the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Use the official DRC eVisa / visa volant portal before travel, or apply through the competent DRC embassy or consulate. Do not rely on arriving without prior authorization. Andorra is not treated as visa-exempt for ordinary tourism to the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and U.S. State Department guidance says a visa must be obtained before travel. The DRC now runs an official eVisa portal through the Direction Generale de Migration; this online route is best described as an eVisa or visa volant pre-authorization, not a standard 30-day tourist eVisa. Depending on the case, the online approval is used to obtain the entry visa/visa aeroportuaire at the point of entry and may require regularization or extension in-country for longer stays. The official portal shows the visa price during the application and states that the displayed visa price does not include a non-refundable USD 50 administrative cost; arrival border/VAP charges may also apply where the visa aeroportuaire flow is used. Embassy sticker visas remain a separate route with issuing-post-specific fees; the DRC Embassy in Washington lists examples from USD 100 for a 1-month single-entry visa to USD 450 for a 6-month multiple-entry visa. Passport validity of at least six months, blank passport pages, and a yellow fever vaccination certificate are required. Processing varies by online portal and mission; remove any reliance on third-party rush tiers and apply well in advance.
