Hi, I will be traveling to DRC and will bring with me my laptop and my external hard disk. I want to know the airport security/customs of DRC with regards to these type devices. Will they check its contents and what will they be looking for so I can delete the contents before I get there. Thanks in advance guys.

Regards,

Hi Dekryptor,

I have been to Kinshasa twice and they did not check any of my belongings except passport and Yellow Fever vaccines, but just make sure you don't have any military photos or political stuff. I found them more thorough at Goma airport in the East,as they checked my cameras and asked if I was a journalist. Kinshasa is much more relaxed and there is less hassle for foreign visitors.

Regards,

Gerry

Thanks Gerry. My entry though would be in Lubumbashi and not Kinshasa. And I don't have any military/political stuff in drive. Thanks again.
