more current info?
Still watching this thread if anyone has current info please post. I could try to get the DRC visa at home, but have not idea for how to get the letter of invitation and I was quite unsuccessful to do that for Angola.

I am also very curious to learn if anybody has recent information about getting into DRC with a visa which has not been issued at an embassy 'at home'. Any information is welcome!

That the DRC Visa better should be taken at home, that was i know till yesterday.
Today does i know, that it is possible on the way.
You find a list of travellers who are currently on the way - in my blog.
Some of them (Maria and Robert) was able to pickup the visa on the way, in the last weeks
I would say: if you able to pick them up at home - do it. I have done it last week, without trouble. But it seems to be (still or again) possible now - also on the way.

Hi,
Question to all who are familiar with the DRC customs/borders: we will be travelling south to north and hope to get a transit visa in Africa. Just in case we succeed: which border posts (Angola and Congo Brazzaville) would you recommend to take to avoid problems as much as possible (given the fact that the visa in that case will have been issued in Africa)?
To the travellers who got problems at the DRC border with their African issued DRC-visa: did you have an invitation letter (and if so, was it notarized and stamped by DRC migration)?
Thanks a lot!
