Moroccan passport holders need an eVisa to enter the Democratic Republic of the Congo. You must apply online before you travel — there are no visa-on-arrival options for Moroccan citizens as of 2026.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| eVisa application Apply before departure | Apply for a DR Congo eVisa at visa.gouv.cd at least 7 days before travel. The eVisa is single-entry and valid for 90 days from issue. Print the approval letter and carry it with your passport — immigration at N'djili Airport (FIH) will ask to see it before they stamp you in.Apply for eVisa | Required |
| Valid passport Must have 6 months validity | Your Moroccan passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your intended departure date from DR Congo. Airlines check this at check-in — if your passport expires sooner, you will be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of onward travel | Immigration at N'djili Airport routinely asks for a return or onward ticket. Have a printed copy or a screenshot of your booking ready. Without one, you risk being refused entry and sent back on the next flight. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Carry a printed hotel reservation or a letter of invitation from your host in DR Congo. Immigration officers sometimes ask for it, especially if you arrive without a clear itinerary. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself | Have bank statements or a credit card showing access to at least $500 USD. Immigration may ask how you plan to fund your stay — a quick bank app screenshot works. | Recommended |
No visa on arrival
Moroccan passport holders cannot get a visa at the airport or border. You must have an approved eVisa before you travel. Airlines may also refuse boarding without proof of a visa.
Keep copies of everything
Print at least two copies of your eVisa and keep a digital backup. You may need to show it at hotel check-ins or during police checks. Also carry a copy of your passport bio page.
What happens at the border
1
Apply for the eVisa online
Go to visa.gouv.cd, fill in the application form, upload a passport photo and a scan of your passport bio page. Pay the fee (typically around $100–$150 depending on nationality). Processing takes 3–7 business days.
2
Receive and print your eVisa
Once approved, you'll get a PDF by email. Print at least two copies — one to hand over at immigration, one as backup. Also save a digital copy on your phone.

Arrive at N'djili Airport (FIH) or other entry point
At immigration, present your passport, printed eVisa, return ticket, and accommodation confirmation. You may be asked for proof of funds. The officer will stamp your passport and note your allowed stay.

Collect your luggage and exit
After immigration, proceed to baggage claim, then customs. Keep your eVisa copy with you during your stay — you may need it for hotel check-ins or police checks.
