Do Finland passport holders need a visa to visit CG?

Finnish passport holders need a visa obtained in advance from a Congolese embassy or consulate before traveling to the Republic of the Congo (Brazzaville). There is no visa on arrival or general e-visa for European nationals, and proof of yellow fever vaccination is mandatory. "Congo (CG)" refers to the Republic of the Congo (Congo-Brazzaville), not the Democratic Republic of the Congo. As of May 2026, Finland is not on the country's short list of visa-exempt nationalities (limited to certain CEMAC neighbours such as Cameroon, CAR, Chad, Equatorial Guinea and Gabon) nor on the visa-on-arrival list (limited to several West African states). Therefore Finnish ordinary passport holders must apply for a tourist visa in advance through a Congolese diplomatic mission. The country does not operate a public e-visa platform for general European tourists; applications are made through the embassy/consulate, which typically requires online registration on the ministry portal plus an in-person or mailed submission. A WHO yellow fever vaccination certificate is mandatory for entry, the passport must be valid at least 6 months, and an invitation letter or confirmed hotel reservation is required. Consular fees commonly run from about EUR 27.50 to EUR 110 depending on entry type and processing speed, with standard processing around 11 business days. Note: Finland has no resident Congolese embassy, so applications are generally routed through the Embassy of the Republic of the Congo in another EU country (e.g. Paris, Brussels, Berlin) or via an accredited mission.
