## Evidence timeline

- **Current official route — DR Congo ordinary passports: Bahamas advance visitor visa** (Visa required)
  Current Bahamas legislation expressly designates the Democratic Republic of Congo as visa-required and defines the visa as a consular endorsement placed in the passport; its eVisa site supports online filing but not electronic issuance.
  - Applies to an ordinary Democratic Republic of the Congo passport visitor for leisure; the Regulations categorize tourist visas as leisure travel.
  - The visa is an endorsement in the passport issued by or for the Minister after consular examination; online filing does not make this an electronically issued visa.
  - A single-entry tourist visa is valid for one entry within three months; final admission remains subject to Immigration Act requirements.
