Invest in DRC Today

The Democratic Republic of the Congo boasts some of the most abundant natural resources on the planet. With a strong economy, rich farmland and bountiful mineral wealth, the DRC is progressively building towards a brighter future.

The DRC’s investment agency namely the National Agency for Investment Promotion (ANAPI), provides investment facilitation services for initial investments over $200,000 and is mandated to simplify the investment process, make procedures more transparent, assist new foreign investors and improve the image of the DRC as an investment destination. A current investment regulation prohibits foreign investors’ from engaging in any informal small retail commerce referred as petit commerce and restricts foreign majority-ownership in agricultural industry.

Visas for foreign workers are limited to six consecutive months and cost between $300 (single-entry) and $400 (multiple-entry). Following approval of the initial “temporary” work visa, which normally is not difficult to procure, a foreign worker may qualify for a more expensive “establishment visa” with a minimum of one year validity. To encourage local employment, salaries paid to expatriates are taxed at a higher rate than local’s staff.
