🇮🇱Israel🇨🇫Central African RepublicIL-CF Israel to Central African Republic visa requirements
No visa needed. Israeli ordinary passport holders can enter the Central African Republic visa-free for tourist stays of up to 90 days. A yellow fever vaccination certificate is mandatory for entry. Israel is one of only about 14 nationalities on the Central African Republic's visa-exemption list, alongside several neighbouring African states. An Israeli ordinary passport holder may enter for tourism without obtaining any visa, eVisa, or visa-on-arrival, for stays up to 90 days. This is confirmed by the CAR visa policy and by the country's official eVisa portal, which explicitly lists Israel among the exempt nationalities. While most other Western travelers must now use the CAR eVisa (evisa-centrafrique.com), Israelis are not required to. Two non-negotiable entry conditions remain: a passport valid at least six months beyond arrival with two blank pages, and a valid International Certificate of Vaccination (yellow fever), which must have been administered at least 10 days before arrival. Travelers should also be aware that the CAR carries severe security travel advisories from most foreign ministries due to ongoing instability, and that overland borders and provincial areas may be dangerous regardless of visa status. The visa-free channel applies to short tourist/business visits; long stays, work, or residence require a proper visa from a CAR diplomatic mission.
