romnek72:
1. do you speak perfect/good French?
2. What passport(s) did those that apply have.
3. Did the embassy actually say this - or just you couldn't have one today?
They were getting ready for biometric +visas+ and drc passports when I was there....

I keep my fingers crossed!
If you are stuck in Brazza I catch up with you in September (I land on the 2nd)
BTW, if you spot any bike dealer in Brazza, please let me know. I will need two cheap, Made in China bikes.
Cheers!

Visa problems for RD Congo

Sorry to say this - but your visa is most probably worthless (except you are a citizen of Gabun). this is what we learned here in Brazzaville; the authorities in port kinshasa will not accept your visa unless it is issued in your homecountry (the visa laws having changed 3 months ago) and threaten to send you back or actually do that, unless your embassy is able to secure you a transit visa on the spot; which costs about 310 dollar as far as we heard from a friend (italian) who went through this problems having a RDC visa from cameroon, three weeks or a month ago and was lucky his embassy showed up at the port and managed to get him this transit visa ... we are stuck here in Brazzaville ourselves and trying to figure out what to do ...
