Where the governments disagree on Central African Republic

United Kingdom alone rates Central African Republic at level 3. Every other government places it higher, all at level 4. Where one government is markedly more relaxed than the rest, the safer planning assumption is the majority view rather than the most reassuring one.

Currency varies between sources. New Zealand's is the oldest assessment of Central African Republic on file, last revised in November 2024, while the rest have been reviewed more recently.

Ten of the eleven governments currently advise against all travel, and that has consequences beyond the wording: most policies void cover for travel taken against your own government's advice, and consular assistance may be limited or unavailable on the ground.

Derived from 11 government assessments for Central African Republic, most recently reviewed in September 2026.
