Congolese diaspora

The French Republic is a key destination for Congolese citizens, whether for studies, business, cultural exchanges, or family visits.

The Embassy of the Democratic Republic of the Congo in Paris assists Congolese nationals with their procedures and directs them to the appropriate official processes. Entry and residence conditions in France are governed by French and European regulations. All travelers must hold valid documents (passport and visa, where applicable).

Visas are issued by the French consular authorities in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Applications must first be submitted online and then lodged with the competent consular services.

For the most up-to-date information on entry requirements, visa categories (student, business, family visit, tourism, etc.), and processing times, it is recommended to consult the official website of the French Embassy in the DRC.
