Taiwan (Chinese Taipei) to Congo (Rep.) visa requirements

A Taiwan ordinary passport holder needs a visa for the Republic of the Congo (Congo-Brazzaville). There is no visa-free or visa-on-arrival channel. The Republic of the Congo operates an electronic visa (eVisa) for tourism and short visits, typically single-entry, with an allowed stay of 30-90 days. Apply online before travel; embassy/consulate visas remain an alternative. Passport must be valid 6+ months with at least 2 blank pages. The Republic of the Congo (Congo-Brazzaville, country code CG) is not to be confused with the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DR Congo, code CD); they have separate visa systems. For Taiwan (Republic of China) ordinary passport holders, the Republic of the Congo requires a visa for tourist entry. The country has rolled out an electronic visa (eVisa) that can be applied for online with a decision typically within about 72 hours. The eVisa is generally issued as a single-entry document permitting a stay of 30 to 90 days depending on nationality, for purposes of tourism, business or transit. Taiwan is not on any visa-exemption or visa-on-arrival list, so the eVisa (or a traditional embassy/consular visa) is the route a Taiwanese traveler must use. A practical caveat for Taiwanese applicants: some eVisa portals do not list "Taiwan" as a standalone nationality option and instead require selecting a China-related designation; travelers should confirm the correct selection and, if in doubt, apply through a Congolese embassy/consulate. Because Republic of the Congo is in Central Africa and is not a Schengen state, the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS are not relevant here. Yellow fever vaccination is mandatory for entry. Given that sources consistently show a visa is required and an online eVisa channel exists, the best-fit verdict for a short tourist stay is "eVisa", while a conventional consular visa remains a valid fallback.
