Event: The U.S. Embassy Kinshasa is further reducing the number of U.S. personnel working at the Embassy.
The Embassy advises U.S. citizens in the DRC to depart immediately by commercial means.
Due to the security situation in Kinshasa, the U.S. Embassy will not be conducting visa interviews and will not be able to provide routine services to U.S. citizens.
Please ensure that you and your family’s travel documents are in order and that essential items are packed in bags that you can easily carry. We understand that border crossings remain open for transit and that many flights are departing from Kinshasa’s N’Djili Airport.
If you need emergency assistance, please contact the Consular Section at the phone numbers below.
Actions to Take:
Review your personal safety plans and ensure your family has enough food and water if you need to stay home for several days.
Have essential items (clothing, medications, travel documents) packed in a bag that you can carry.
Have a personal emergency action plan that does not rely on U.S. government assistance.
Take advantage of commercial transportation options, if you wish to leave the area.
Avoid crowds and demonstrations.
Be aware of your surroundings.
Monitor local media for updates.
Keep a low profile.
