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.

Official source: - [Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office: FCDO Central African Republic entry requirements](https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/central-african-republic/entry-requirements) - **Current official route — German ordinary passports: named advance visa routes** (Visa required) The Federal Foreign Office expressly requires pre-departure mission issuance for each listed German ordinary-passport visitor route. - KP: entry is limited to organized travel with assigned guides or interpreters and Foreign Ministry permission; tourist cases are handled by the travel agency, require a Korean-side invitation, and embassy issuance normally takes at least four weeks. LY: apply at the Libyan Embassy in Berlin for a Germany-based applicant. CG: apply before entry at the Republic of the Congo Embassy in Berlin. SS: apply before entry at the South Sudan Embassy in Berlin. CF: apply before entry at the competent Central African Embassy in Paris. LR: visa-on-arrival issuance has ended; Germany-based travellers apply at the Liberian Embassy in Berlin. ML: apply at a Malian foreign mission in Germany. - This does not normalize travel warnings, operational access, invitations, special documents, work, residence, transit or final admission.

KP: visa available through the DPRK General Delegation in France. LY: visa before arrival. SD: prior visa. SY: Syrian diplomatic or consular representation issues the visa. CG: obtain before departure; no arrival visa. SS: airlines may refuse boarding without a pre-departure visa and France-based applicants use the Paris embassy. CF: the CAR Paris Embassy processes the passport and short-stay application. GQ: no arrival visa and the Paris embassy states required documents. GW: French applications go to the Guinea-Bissau Embassy in Paris; its exceptional Bissau-airport route is not the standard France-resident route. LR: France residents apply through the Liberian Embassy. ML: Mali consulates in Paris or Lyon issue it; no arrival visa. NE: prior visa only; no arrival visa. NG: portal submission is followed by physical dossier submission to OIS Paris for processing.

Official source: - [Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Moldova: Moldova MFA: visa regime for citizens of the Republic of Moldova](https://mfa.gov.md/en/node/4478) - **Current official route — Rwandan ordinary passports: named visa-free short visits** (Visa-free) Rwanda DGIE's current ordinary-passport schedule expressly records visa-free access for Bangladesh, Central African Republic, Côte d'Ivoire, Guinea-Bissau, Liberia, Mali and Niger. The Republic of the Congo row is classified separately from the controlling bilateral agreement. - This is limited to the named ordinary-passport rows in Rwanda DGIE's current outbound schedule; it is not inferred from EAC, AU, COMESA, bilateral or regional membership. - For CI, the destination MFA/SNEDAI pages describe a general applicant visa workflow but do not publish a Rwanda-specific override. Rwanda DGIE's passport-specific ordinary row says Visa not required, so the generic applicant route is not normalized as applying to this named visa-free passport. - Purpose, stay period, accepted document, special passports, carrier rules and final admission remain separate.
