Congo

Visas

All visitors to Congo need a visa. You can buy a 15-day, multiple-entry visa to Brazzaville on arrival for approximately US$70, but you must have your yellow fever certificate with you. Visa applications from embassies abroad can be issued the same day or by the next day. You can also get a visa on arrival in Brazzaville if you come by boat from Kinshasa.

Visas for onward travel

If at all possible, procure your onward travel African visas from your home country before departure. This is especially true for Angolan visas which require a letter of introduction from a person in-country first. The easiest visa to get in Congo is for the Democratic Republic of Congo a short hop across the Congo River. You should also be able to pick up a visa for Gabon here.
