Slovenian passport holders need a visa to enter the Central African Republic. You must arrange this before you travel — there is no visa on arrival for Slovenian citizens as of 2026.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Visa application Visa required | Apply for a visa at the Central African Republic embassy or consulate before travel. The official MFA website (mfact.cf) lists application procedures, but in practice you must submit a paper application in person or by mail. Processing takes 2–4 weeks and requires a letter of invitation, yellow fever vaccination certificate, and two passport photos.MFA visa info | Required |
| Valid passport Must be valid for the entire stay | Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your intended departure date from the Central African Republic. Have at least two blank pages for entry and exit stamps. Airlines check this at check-in — if your passport doesn't meet the 6-month rule, you'll be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Required for visa application and at border | You need a confirmed return or onward ticket to leave the Central African Republic. Immigration officers at Bangui M'Poko International Airport check this for every foreigner. A flight booking showing departure within your visa validity is sufficient. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Recommended | Have a hotel booking or letter of invitation from a host in the Central African Republic. Immigration may ask where you're staying during the visa interview or at the border. A simple booking confirmation printout works. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Recommended | Carry cash (EUR or USD) or a bank statement showing you can support yourself. The official requirement is vague — around $100–200 per day of stay is a safe benchmark. ATMs are unreliable in Bangui, so bring enough cash for your entire trip. | Recommended |
Visa required — apply well in advance
There is no visa on arrival or e-visa for Slovenian passport holders. You must get a visa from a Central African Republic embassy before you travel. Start the process at least 4–6 weeks before your trip.
Health precautions
Yellow fever vaccination is required for entry. Malaria is present year-round, so take prophylaxis. Check with your doctor or a travel clinic 4–6 weeks before departure.

Frequently asked questions
Yes, you need a visa. There is no visa on arrival or e-visa option for Slovenian citizens. You must apply at a Central African Republic embassy before you travel.
Processing typically takes 1 to 3 weeks, but it can vary. Apply at least a month before your planned departure to be safe.
You need to apply at the nearest Central African Republic embassy or consulate. If there is none in your country, check the embassy in a neighbouring country or the one that covers your region. Contact them directly for application forms and fees.
You'll typically need a valid passport (6+ months validity), completed application form, passport-sized photos, flight itinerary, proof of accommodation, and sometimes a letter of invitation or travel insurance. Check with the embassy for the exact list.
Extensions are not generally available for short-term visitors. The standard visa is for a fixed period. If you need to stay longer, you must apply for a longer visa before travel or contact immigration in Bangui once you're there — but this is not guaranteed.
It is not always checked at immigration, but it is strongly recommended. Medical facilities are very limited, and evacuation can be extremely expensive. Most travel insurance policies cover this.
The currency is the Central African CFA franc (XAF). Euros and US dollars are sometimes accepted in hotels and larger businesses, but it's best to have local currency. ATMs are scarce outside Bangui.
