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.
