For the relevant traveller scope, is a visa, electronic authorisation, visa on arrival or no advance visa normally required?

The Central African Republic Embassy in Paris publishes a form titled "Long-Stay Visa Application" for a long-stay category of 45 to 90 days, priced at 300 euros. The form does not establish that every traveller must obtain this visa in advance.

Limits of the record
  • The form provides no nationality or exemption matrix and does not establish that every traveller needs this visa in advance.

What short-visit purposes does this route cover?

The form lists private, holiday, business, work and official as purpose options, plus an "other, specify" line. It does not define whether this list is exhaustive or what activities each purpose permits.

Limits of the record
  • The form does not state whether the listed purposes are exhaustive or define the activities permitted under each purpose.

What maximum stay, rolling-period rule, validity and entry rules apply?

The form lists one long-stay band of 45 to 90 days at 300 euros and an additional 20-euro charge for express processing. It does not divide that band into further duration tiers. The official source does not state a rolling-period rule, number of entries or separate visa-validity period.

Limits of the record
  • The short-stay and long-stay forms both include day 45, so the treatment of that boundary day is unresolved.

What important funds, accommodation, invitation, insurance, onward-travel or passport evidence may be required?

The listed application evidence includes two identity photographs, a valid passport plus a copy, a plane ticket, journalist accreditation for journalists, a Ministry of Tourism attestation for tourists, and copies of supporting documents such as an invitation letter, mission order or hotel reservation. The form does not state a passport-validity period, funds requirement or insurance rule.

The form does not state the submission channel or appointment procedure, and it does not describe an in-country extension or change-of-status procedure.
