A visa is necessary for all Indian passport-bearers to enter the Central African Republic. The closest Central African Republic Embassy or Mission must issue a visa. All Indian tourists visiting the Central African Republic must have a legitimate visa, passport, or another form of travel authorization, as well as onward reservations and enough money to cover their expenses while there. The kind of passport you need to enter the Central African Republic will vary depending on your country, the reason for your trip, and how long you intend to stay.

For Indian citizens, the Central African Republic Embassy provides single-entry and multiple-entry visas. A single-entry visa is only valid for three months, while multiple-entry visas are valid for either six months or a year.

The type of entry that is allowed must be meticulously noted. For example, unlike multiple entries, which would enable numerous entrances and exits, a single-entry passport only allows one entry and exit from the Central African Republic.

Three months before the intended departure date is the earliest that a passport can be requested for the Central African Republic. All visa applications should be filed at least two weeks before departure to give enough time for processing.
