Congo Business Visa
A lot of people often confuse this Congo with the Democratic Republic of the Congo (a.k.a. Congo-Kinshasa) which is a completely different country that lies to the east. The Republic of the Congo (ROC) is often known as Congo or Congo-Brazzaville and is the smaller of the two Congoes.
Below I will describe how to get a visa for the Congo if you are going on business. The business visa is issued for various reasons such as making feasibility studies, establishing professional and business contacts, and making arrangements for investments. A business visa is valid for ONLY ONE MONTH and cannot exceed 30 days.
Visa required for U.S. citizens before you go to Congo: Yes. U.S. Citizens require a passport, visa, and evidence of yellow fever vaccination for entry.
Visa required for non-U.S. citizens: Visas are required by anyone not from the Congo.
If you’re inside the U.S.:
