For the relevant traveller scope, is a visa, electronic authorisation, visa on arrival or no advance visa normally required?

Where/how is permission obtained when required, and under what important circumstances can a stay be extended or changed?

A business applicant who plans to stay in the Republic of Congo for more than 30 days should extend the visa at the nearest Office of Immigration. Any change of immigration status must be made in the Republic of Congo and is granted by the Office of Immigration. The official source does not state where the business visa is applied for before travel.
