⚠️ Note: ID Wizard is not affiliated with any government authority, including the DRC e-Visa service or the government of the Democratic Republic of Congo. Photo specifications can vary between consulates and visa categories. Congolese (DRC) passport holders require a Schengen visa to travel to EU/Schengen countries — Belgian and French consulates serve a large Congolese diaspora community. The DRC e-Visa for visitors is available at evisa.gouv.cd. Religious headwear is permitted under ICAO guidelines provided the full face from chin to forehead is clearly visible. Always verify current requirements with the relevant authority before applying.
