Entry into France

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

The Embassy of the Democratic Republic of the Congo in Paris supports Congolese nationals in their procedures and guides them towards the necessary official processes. Entry and residence conditions in France are governed by French and European regulations. All travelers must carry valid documents (passport, visa if applicable).

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

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