Do Brazil passport holders need a visa to visit CD?

Brazilian ordinary passport holders need a visa for the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The standard route for a short tourist stay is the official eVisa applied for online at evisa.gouv.cd before travel, plus payment of the mandatory VAP border-entry fee on arrival. Brazil is not on the DR Congo visa-exemption list, which covers only six African states (Burundi, Republic of the Congo, Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania, Zimbabwe). Brazilian citizens must therefore obtain a visa before traveling. Since late 2024 the DRC operates an electronic visa (eVisa) administered by the Direction Generale de Migration (DGM) through evisa.gouv.cd, which is the practical channel for short tourist visits. The short-stay tourist eVisa is single-entry, allows a stay of up to 7 days, and must be used within 3 months (90 days) of issue. Applicants upload a passport scan, photo, a mandatory yellow fever vaccination certificate, accommodation/itinerary details, and declare a responsible person or hotel in the DRC. On arrival, travelers must also pay the VAP (Visa d'Entree / border-entry) fee of about USD 90 that activates the stay. A yellow fever certificate is compulsory for entry. Travelers should apply at least two weeks before departure. Where the online eVisa is not suitable for a longer or specific purpose, the DRC embassy/consulate accredited to Brazil issues paper visas. The verdict is eVisa; the conservative fallback remains visa-required.
