Do I need a visa to the Central African Republic?

When planning a trip to the Central African Republic, it is important to take into account the country's visa requirements, which depend on your nationality and the purpose of your visit.

It is important to keep in mind that the visa regime in the CAR is quite strict. The vast majority of foreign nationals, including European countries, need to obtain a visa to enter the country.

Regardless of the purpose of your trip, you will need to apply for a visa through a consulate or other diplomatic mission of the CAR in your country.

The exceptions are the United States and several African countries, whose nationals may enter the Central African Republic without a visa for up to 90 days.

Special conditions

Visa on Arrival: A visa on arrival at Bangui International Airport (Bangui M'Poko) in the Central African Republic (CAR) is available for nationals of countries where there is no CAR diplomatic or consular representation. In this case, travelers can obtain a visa on arrival, subject to prior request for special authorization.

Visa exemption: Visa exemption may apply in limited cases for nationals of certain countries, but such cases are strictly regulated and require exact compliance with all established rules.

For example, holders of diplomatic passports or special visas valid under international agreements may enter the country without obtaining a separate visa. This may also apply to employees of international organizations such as the UN or other agencies operating in CAR under status of forces agreements (SOFA).

It is important to note that the visa exemption does not apply to tourist, business or other travel to the country.
