Kenyans no longer need visas to enter Democratic Republic of the Congo

Democratic Republic of Congo has eliminated visa requirement for Kenyan travelers.

This decision was announced by DR Congo’s Director General of Migration, Roland Kashwantale Chihoza, in a statement issued on Wednesday.

This reciprocal action comes in response to Kenya’s recent announcement that it would also be waiving visa requirements for Congolese visitors to the country. Kenya’s decision is aimed at reducing barriers to facilitate the free movement of people and promote trade within the East African Community (EAC).

It’s worth noting that the Democratic Republic of Congo joined the East African Community as its seventh member last year.
