🇦🇷Argentina🇨🇫Central African RepublicAR-CF Argentina to Central African Republic visa requirements
Yes. Argentine ordinary-passport holders need a visa to enter the Central African Republic for tourism. There is no visa-free entry, no reliable government eVisa for all nationalities, and no visa on arrival, so you must obtain a tourist visa in advance from a CAR embassy or consulate (or, where none exists, via the French consulate handling CAR interests). Argentina is not among the small list of countries (mostly African neighbors plus Israel) that the Central African Republic exempts from visas, so an Argentine traveler must hold a visa before arrival. While some third-party websites advertise a CAR "eVisa," there is no confirmed, broadly functioning official government eVisa portal, and major references (Wikipedia visa policy, VisaHQ, MoAfrika Tours) state that travelers must apply through a CAR diplomatic mission or, where no mission exists, the French consulate. Being conservative where the no-visa or eVisa channel cannot be confirmed, the correct verdict is visa-required via consular application. A passport valid at least six months with two blank pages and a yellow fever vaccination certificate are mandatory. Tourist visas are typically valid for entry within about 90 days and allow stays of up to 30 to 90 days, single or multiple entry, with consular fees commonly around USD 80-250 depending on entries and validity. Note: the CAR carries the highest-level "Do Not Travel" advisories from many governments due to armed conflict, crime, and kidnapping; this verification covers entry rules only, not safety.
