Lithuania to Central African Republic
Do I need a visa for Central African Republic?
No — Lithuanian citizens must have a visa obtained before departure. The permission takes the form of a physical visa. The visa must be obtained in advance; visa information and application channels include embassy processing and online options.
The visa does not permit paid work or study.
Which documents do I need?
Your ordinary Lithuanian passport is the accepted travel document. The passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond the date of entry.
A national identity card, a driving licence and a temporary passport are not accepted for entry on this route.
Are vaccinations required for Central African Republic?
Yellow fever vaccination is mandatory. You must carry an International Certificate of Vaccination proving yellow fever vaccination for travellers older than 9 months.
Other vaccines are recommended by health authorities (for example malaria prevention and vaccines such as hepatitis A, hepatitis B, typhoid and meningococcal where appropriate) but these are recommendations, not entry requirements.
How long can I stay, and can I extend it?
Do not rely on this page for a number of days; ask the issuing embassy or the authority that grants the visa for the exact stay allowed on your visa.
If you overstay or need to change your permission, contact the issuing authority or embassy for the correct procedure.
Can children travel on this route?
Children and minors must hold their own passport as the accepted travel document. Travellers under 18 do not need any additional parental-consent paperwork or notarised letters beyond the passport.
Where do I get the visa?
The visa application can be made online and at a Central African Republic embassy or consulate. The sources name visa handling in embassy channels (including an embassy in Brussels for visa applications) and refer to Bangui airport information for further visa details.
Lithuania has no Central African Republic embassy in-country; the nearest Lithuanian embassy for consular matters is in Egypt, and under EU rules you may seek consular assistance from other EU member states’ missions where appropriate.
