To enter CAR, U.S. citizens will need a valid passport with at least one blank page, a visa, and evidence of yellow fever vaccination. Visas are no longer available upon arrival in CAR. You must obtain your visa in advance of travel to avoid excessive fees and unexpected potential travel interruptions imposed at the port-of-entry. Visit the Embassy of CAR website for the most current visa information.
