The DRC issues a biometric e-passport conforming to ICAO standards, administered by the DGM (dgm.gouv.cd). Congolese (DRC) passport holders require a Schengen visa to travel to EU/Schengen countries — the same 35×45mm ICAO photo format is required for Schengen visa applications. Religious headwear is permitted under ICAO guidelines provided the full face from chin to forehead is clearly visible. Always verify current requirements with the DGM before applying.
