中国(China) 前往 刚果(金)(Congo (Dem. Rep.)) 签证要求

Chinese ordinary passport holders need a visa for the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). There is no visa-free access or visa-on-arrival. For short visits, an eVisa ("Visa Volant"/VAP electronic visa) is available online via the official DGM portal, valid for stays of up to 7 days and usable within 3 months of issue. For longer tourist stays, apply for a regular visa at a DRC embassy or consulate. Yellow fever vaccination is mandatory. As of May 2026, China is not on the DRC's short list of visa-exempt countries (which covers only Burundi, Republic of the Congo, Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania and Zimbabwe), so Chinese ordinary passport holders require a visa. The DRC rolled out an electronic visa system (administered by the Direction Générale de Migration, DGM) for short stays of up to 7 days, which must be used within 3 months of issue and is accepted at major entry points including Kinshasa N'djili and Goma airports. The eVisa is the most convenient channel for a brief tourist or business visit, but it does not cover longer stays — for those, a traditional visa from a DRC diplomatic mission (often requiring a French-language letter of invitation addressed to the DGM) is necessary. There is no genuine visa-on-arrival service; advance authorization is required for nearly all visitors. A WHO International Certificate of yellow fever vaccination (administered at least 10 days before arrival) is mandatory, and the passport must be valid 6+ months with blank pages. A $90 USD VAP border fee is collected on arrival in addition to the visa cost. Because the eVisa is the verified online route for short visits, the verdict is "evisa," but travelers should default to the embassy route for stays beyond 7 days and confirm current fees on the official portal.
