Republic of the Congo visa for Bangladeshis

This guide covers the Republic of the Congo (capital Brazzaville), not the Democratic Republic of the Congo. UK government (FCDO) advice says a visa is required and must be obtained before travel through a Republic of the Congo embassy; the passport must be valid for the whole stay and a yellow fever certificate is required. FCDO advises against all travel only within 50 km of the border with the Central African Republic in Likouala Region. Arrivals may face Ebola-related health screening. We could not open an official Congolese page, so fees, processing time and the Bangladesh procedure are marked for confirmation. Last checked 6 November 2026.

Quick answer: Security advisory: UK FCDO advises against all travel within 50 km of the Central African Republic border in Likouala Region.. Visa needed?: Yes (UK government advice). Bangladesh-specific rule not seen on an official Congolese page; confirm.. Confirm before you pay.
