Kinshasa passports go through a visa step before any Dubai booking. The Democratic Republic of the Congo sits on the UAE's visa required list. A licensed sponsor files for you with GDRFA, whose 30 day single entry fee is AED 210, and we get the file ready.

The DRC embassy in the UAE

The Democratic Republic of the Congo has an embassy in Abu Dhabi, with its own website listing consular services, Foreign Ministry news, civil marriage notices and online application forms. It is the place for a passport renewal or a civil document, not for a UAE visa.

Before you book

  1. Check your passport, with 6 months left and a clear photo page.
  2. Choose who files: a tourism company, or a relative with UAE residence.
  3. Wait for the e-visa by email before you pay for flights.
  4. Keep your return plans in writing.

If you also plan to fly onward, read the Dubai visa requirements for the last day of stay.

What we could not confirm

We found no DR Congo government page on UAE entry rules for its citizens, no fee list at the embassy, and no UAE rule for this passport beyond visa required. We leave those lines blank rather than guess.

How it works with us

Share your passport page and dates by WhatsApp. The adviser chooses the visa type with you and names one total. Filing begins once you accept. Remember that we are a private firm, not an authority; GDRFA or ICP gives the answer.

A refused file costs you the state fees. Before you pay us, the adviser sets out in writing how much of our own fee would be handed back, if any.

Questions people ask

Do DR Congo passport holders need a visa for Dubai?

Yes. The UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs lists the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Kinshasa, as visa required before travel. Nothing is issued on arrival for this passport, so wait for the e-visa before you buy the ticket.

How much is a Dubai visa for a Congolese from Kinshasa?

GDRFA lists AED 210 for 30 days and AED 315 for 60 days, single entry. A visa company adds a service charge on top, so ask for the government fee as its own line.

Where is the DR Congo embassy in the UAE?

In Abu Dhabi. The embassy runs its own website with consular information, news from the Foreign Ministry and online application forms. Use it for passports and civil documents. It does not issue UAE visas.

Can the DR Congo embassy help with a UAE visa?

No. A UAE visit visa is filed through GDRFA or ICP by a licensed company, a hotel, an airline or a sponsor. The embassy of your own country handles your passport and papers, not entry to the UAE.

What is the difference between Congolese passports for UAE visas?

The UAE list has separate lines for the Democratic Republic of the Congo and for the Republic of the Congo. Both are visa required, but this page is for the Kinshasa passport. Check the cover before you fill in the form.

Can a relative who lives in Dubai invite me?

A UAE resident can sponsor a family visit if the income and relationship rules are met. Send the sponsor's Emirates ID and your passport page and we check the route first.
