DRC visa and entry
We are travelling in two Land rovers from the UK to Cape Town. We are currently in Morocco, but started reading about the visa situation in the DRC. Does anyone have recent info about obtaining a visa on route and not through country of residence?
Our planned route is as follows:
Morocco
Maurintania
Senegal
The Gambia
Mali
Burkina Faso
Cote d'Ivoire (possibly)
Ghana
Togo
Benin
Nigeria
Cameroon
Thank you in advance

We did Finland to SA and back to Finland this year. We got our DRC visas from Benin. Was fairly easy, needed all the usual (pp pictures, copies) and also a letter from your work that you will return there. We made one for both of us. Was costly visa, but we got it. And do not take the boat from Brazza to Kinshasha. Take the smaller border what most of the overlanders do, they do not care there is you got your visa at home or somewhere else.
A lot of commercial trucks with tourists gets all the visas in Ghana. Nigeria, DRC, Angola visas especially. Said it was the best.
Enjoy your trip!

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
