Who runs the Congolese Embassy?
The ambassador is Léon Raphaël Mokoko, who presented credentials to the King of the Belgians on 29 September 2017. Brussels hosts the EU institutions and NATO, so several countries keep separate missions there; this page covers the bilateral embassy to Belgium. One honorary consulate supports Congolese citizens in other parts of Belgium.
Consular services
The consular section typically handles:
- Congolese passports and emergency travel documents
- Powers of attorney and notarial acts
- Visas for travellers who need one for the Republic of the Congo
- Help for citizens in difficulty – illness, arrest or loss of documents
Do I need an appointment?
Walk-in capacity is limited, so check the procedure on the embassy website first.
Visa and entry information for Belgian citizens
Belgian citizens need a visa for the Republic of the Congo, to be obtained before travelling. Details: Belgian Foreign Ministry – travel documents by country.
Closing days
The embassy is closed on Belgian public holidays; Congolese celebrations on 15 August (national day) usually mean a closure too. Check before visiting in the weeks around Christmas, Easter and in July/August.
Emergency assistance
