Congo-Kinshasa
Travel Guide
ENTRY/EXIT REQUIREMENTS: A passport, visa and
evidence of yellow fever vaccination are required for entry. Some travelers
arriving in the Congo-Kinshasa without proper proof of yellow fever
vaccination have been temporarily detained, had their passports confiscated,
or been required to pay a fine. Visas should be obtained from an embassy of
the Congo-Kinshasa prior to arrival.
Dual nationals arriving in the Congo-Kinshasa should carefully consider
which passport they use to enter the Congo-Kinshasa, DRC. For departure
from the Congo-Kinshasa, airlines will require a valid visa for all
destination countries before they will issue a ticket or allow a passenger
to board. Airlines also require that the passenger have the correct entry
stamp in the passport they wish to use to exit the country. Passengers who
are unable to leave the country on the passport they used to enter the
Congo-Kinshasa may not be able to continue on their travel itinerary.
Additional information about visas may be obtained from the Embassy of
the Democratic Republic of the Congo, 1726 M Street, N.W. Washington, D.C.
20036, tel. (202) 234-7690, or the DRC's Permanent Mission to the U.N, 866
United Nations Plaza, Room 511, New York, NY 10017, tel. 212-319-8061, fax:
212-319-8232, web site
http://www.un.int/drcongo. Overseas, inquiries should be made at the
nearest Congolese embassy or consulate.

MEDICAL FACILITIES AND HEALTH INFORMATION: In the
DRC, medical facilities are limited, and medical materials are in short
supply. Travelers should carry properly labeled prescription drugs and
other medications with them and should not expect to find an adequate supply
of prescription or over-the-counter drugs in local stores or pharmacies.
For planning purposes, the minimum estimated cost of medical air
evacuation to the nearest suitable health care facility (in South Africa) is
$35,000.
Information on vaccinations and other health precautions, such as safe
food and water precautions and insect bite protection, may be obtained from
the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s hotline for international
travelers at 1-877-FYI-TRIP (1-877-394-8747)

MEDICAL INSURANCE: The Department of State strongly
urges Americans to consult with their medical insurance company prior to
traveling abroad to confirm whether their policy applies overseas and
whether it will cover emergency expenses such as a medical evacuation.
REGISTRATION / EMBASSY LOCATION: Americans living
or traveling in the DRC are encouraged to register with the U.S. Embassy
through the State
Department’s travel registration website, so that they can obtain
updated information on travel and security within the Congo.
Americans without Internet access may register directly with the U.S.
Embassy. By registering, American citizens make it easier for the Embassy
to contact them in case of emergency. The U.S. Embassy is located at 310
Avenue des Aviateurs, tel. 243-081-225-5872 (do not dial the zero when
calling from abroad). Entrance to the Consular Section of the Embassy is on
Avenue Dumi, opposite the Ste. Anne residence. The Consular Section of the
Embassy may be reached at tel. 243-081-884-6859 or 243-081-884-4609; fax
243-081-301-0560 (do not dial the first zero when calling from abroad).
