With an eye toward regional integration and cross-border trade, Uganda on Monday announced that Congolese nationals would no longer need visas to enter its territory, as of January 1, 2024.
This concludes a process that has been marred by multiple negotiations since the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) joined the East African Community (EAC) in July 2022.
