Taiwan (Chinese Taipei) to Central African Republic visa requirements

Taiwan (TW) ordinary passport holders need a visa to enter the Central African Republic (CF) for tourism. There is no visa-free entry, and no reliable visa-on-arrival channel for Taiwanese nationals. A tourist visa must be obtained in advance from a Central African Republic embassy/consulate (or a French diplomatic mission acting on CAR's behalf). A third-party online portal advertises a CAR "eVisa," but its official government status is not confirmed by authoritative sources, so travelers should secure a consular visa before departure. As of 2026, the Central African Republic is not in the Schengen area and does not grant visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to Taiwan (TW) ordinary passport holders. Taiwan is not on CAR's short visa-exempt list (which is limited mainly to certain African neighbors and Israel; UAE nationals can get a visa on arrival, but not Taiwanese). Official references (Taiwan MOFA/BOCA, Wikipedia visa-policy data, IATA Travel Centre) indicate that visitors must obtain a visa from a CAR diplomatic mission, or from a French diplomatic mission where CAR has no representation. A commercial "eVisa" website (E-VISACAR, operated by DigitalGate SARL at evisa-centrafrique.com) markets online tourist visas, but it is not verifiable as the official government system, so the conservative and safest route is a consular (embassy) visa applied for before travel. The tourist visa is typically single or multiple entry, allows stays up to about 30-90 days, with the consular fee commonly around USD 150 plus any service charges; passports must be valid 6+ months with two blank pages. CAR also carries serious security travel advisories, and most foreign governments advise against travel; some embassies require proof of yellow fever vaccination and may request a security clearance/letter of invitation.
