I managed to secure my visa on arrival at Bangui M'Poko International Airport, but it definitely required patience and having exact change for the 75,000 CFA fee. Make sure your yellow fever certificate is easily accessible, as the officials checked mine three times before processing the stamp. It took about two hours to get through, so bring plenty of water and stay calm throughout the process.

I had a similar experience with the multiple document checks, but keeping everything organized definitely helps. Did you find that they were strict about the currency denominations for that fee?

That sounds like quite the process! Did they accept your documents without any issues, or did you have to explain anything specific to get them to approve your entry?

Thanks for the tip about the exact change, that is so helpful to know! Did they ask for any additional documentation beyond the standard paperwork?
