## Evidence timeline

- **Current official route — Foreign CEMAC ordinary passports: Central African Republic visa-free short entry** (Visa-free)
  CEMAC's current Commission material says visa-free movement for Member-State citizens is effective. This directly maps the five other current CEMAC member-state ordinary passports to visa-free entry to the Central African Republic; no current CAR source was found to extend that rule beyond the bloc.
  - Applies only to nationals holding ordinary passports of the five other current CEMAC Member States: Cameroon, Republic of the Congo, Gabon, Equatorial Guinea and Chad.
  - The CEMAC Common Convention describes tourist movement for up to three months with a valid or recently expired national identity card or passport and an international health booklet. It does not publish a CAR-specific port or fee schedule.
  - Work, establishment, long-term residence, transit, diplomatic, official, service, refugee and other special-document arrangements are outside this ordinary short-visitor policy. Passport, health, public-order, security and individual admission controls may still apply.
