Immigration

The Customs, Immigration, and Quarantine (CIQ) at FZQA airport are relatively quick, professional, and user-friendly. However, it's important to confirm you have all documentation and required visas in order prior to arrival.

CIQ Procedures

At Airports, customs clearance for crew members/passengers is located in the General Aviation Terminal (GAT). For international arrival, your ground handler will transport passengers and luggage to clear at the GAT, and this usually takes only a few minutes. The handler the will arrange formalities for crew. CIQ and manual check are required for each passenger. However, with arrivals and departures, all luggage will be checked manually. CIQ will need to confirm IDs for every arriving/departing crew member/passenger. Your ground handler will normally arrange for expedited crew/passenger clearance – either through a separate line or with priority over scheduled commercial passengers in a regular clearance line. For all departures regardless of destination, crew/passengers go through manual security checking.

Climate

Lubumbashi has a humid subtropical climate with warm wet summers and dry winters.
