Egypt to Congo (Rep.) visa requirements

Egyptian ordinary passport holders need a visa to visit the Republic of the Congo (Congo-Brazzaville). Egypt is not visa-exempt and is not eligible for visa on arrival. The recommended route is the Congo eVisa, applied for online before travel, with a yellow fever vaccination certificate required for entry. A Egyptian ordinary passport holder traveling to the Republic of the Congo (CG, Congo-Brazzaville) for tourism requires a visa obtained before departure. Egypt does not appear on Congo's visa-exemption list (limited to biometric-passport holders from CEMAC members Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Equatorial Guinea and Gabon) nor on its visa-on-arrival list (Benin, Burkina Faso, Ivory Coast, Mauritania, Morocco, Niger, Senegal and Togo only). The Republic of the Congo operates an electronic visa (eVisa) channel, which is the practical option for Egyptian tourists: a single-entry tourist eVisa is generally issued for short stays with online processing typically around 72 hours. A standard consular/tourist visa is also available through Congolese diplomatic missions, with consular fees commonly cited near USD 160-200. Entry requires a passport valid at least six months with blank pages, proof of onward travel, accommodation or invitation details, and a valid International Certificate of Vaccination against yellow fever (mandatory; a frequent cause of refusal at the border). Note: CG (Republic of the Congo / Brazzaville) is distinct from CD (Democratic Republic of the Congo / Kinshasa); the requirements below apply to the Republic of the Congo. Congo is not in the Schengen area, so the 90/180 Schengen rule and ETIAS do not apply. Travelers should confirm current fees and the active eVisa portal with the nearest Congolese embassy before booking.
