There are significant threats to New Zealanders travelling to Central African Republic (CAR). New Zealanders currently in CAR are advised to depart as soon as it is safe to do so.
New Zealanders who remain in CAR against our advice should:
We recommend ensuring you have adequate stocks of essential supplies on hand, and monitor media reports and local information sources closely to keep up to date on the security situation. For further advice, see our violence and conflict page.
As there is no New Zealand diplomatic presence in CAR, the ability of the government to provide consular assistance to New Zealand citizens is severely limited.
See below for detailed travel advice.
