My girlfriend and I are doing the same trip leaving London on boxing day and we are struggling to get the Prise en Charge (letter of invitation) issued by the DGM (Department of Migration) in Kinshasa, and even if we get it the visa will 99% be only valid for 3 months which will not be enough for us to get there. We are now also thinking of trying to get a visa en route and have heard that the DRC embassy in Benin and other places issues it no problem. The issue is that the rules changed in late March 2015 so I am wondering if anybody knows anybody who got a tourist visa post March 2015 and, if so, did they enter without a problem?
Thanks
