Do United Kingdom passport holders need a visa to visit CF?

UK passport holders need a visa to visit the Central African Republic. There is no visa on arrival, so you must obtain a visa in advance, normally through the CAR Embassy in Paris (the country has no embassy in the UK). A yellow fever vaccination certificate is mandatory for entry. A United Kingdom ordinary passport holder requires a visa for tourism or any short visit to the Central African Republic (CAR). The official UK government travel advice (GOV.UK) confirms that a visa is mandatory and that applications should be made through the Central African Republic Embassy in Paris, as the CAR has no diplomatic mission in the UK and does not offer visa on arrival. A short-stay tourist visa is typically valid for 1 to 3 months with a stay usually limited to 30 days; entries (single or multiple) depend on the visa issued. A private online portal (evisa-centrafrique.com) advertises an electronic tourist visa, but GOV.UK does not reference or endorse an eVisa scheme, so the conservative and authoritative route remains an embassy-issued visa. All travellers must present a valid yellow fever vaccination certificate at the border, hold a passport valid for at least six months beyond arrival, and show proof of onward or return travel. The CAR is not in the Schengen area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply.
