Visa & Entry

US passport holders need a visa to enter the Central African Republic. Apply at the CAR Embassy in Washington, D.C. before departure. Required documents include a completed application form, two passport photos, a return ticket, proof of accommodation, a yellow fever vaccination certificate, and the visa fee of $100 to $150 depending on visa type. Passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond the date of entry. Processing takes 5 to 10 working days.

There is no eVisa or visa on arrival for US nationals. The embassy visa is the only path. Single-entry tourist visas are valid for 30 to 90 days depending on the type requested. A letter of invitation from a local contact or hotel in Bangui may be requested. Yellow fever vaccination is mandatory and the certificate is checked at immigration.

No direct flights connect the US to the Central African Republic. Route through Paris (about 6 hours to Bangui M'Poko International Airport on Air France, limited frequency), Addis Ababa (Ethiopian Airlines via connections), or Douala, Cameroon (ASKY or Camair-Co). Total travel time from the US runs 18 to 28 hours depending on routing. The Central African Republic uses the Central African CFA franc (XAF), pegged to the euro at 655.957 XAF per EUR 1, trading at roughly 600 XAF per $1. Cash is the primary payment method. ATMs are scarce even in Bangui. Bring euros or US dollars to exchange at banks.
