Transiting through DR Congo?

Transit visa exemption (airside)Up to nullh — Passengers transiting exclusively by air or sea who do not leave the airport/port limits, or awaiting the first connecting service; also passengers connecting between Kinshasa and Brazzaville airports. Must remain within airport/port international limits for the time strictly necessary to catch the first onward connection. Per DGM visa rules (2020 archived capture of dgm.cd; the relaunched dgm.cd no longer republishes its visas page). The identical dispensation list is still published by the Kinshasa N'Djili international airport authority (https://www.aeroport-kinshasa.com/en/visa_on_arrival_congo.php, retrieved 2026-08-07), corroborating that the rule remains in force.
