Vatican City visa for Central African citizens

Embarking on a journey from the Central African Republic to Vatican City means preparing for a unique visit to the world's smallest sovereign state, entirely enveloped by Rome. For Central African Republic passport holders, a Schengen visa is required, typically permitting stays of up to 90 days within a 180-day period, with current application fees generally around €80. Since Vatican City lacks an airport, travelers will typically fly from Bangui (BGF) to Rome Fiumicino (FCO) via a major European hub, then use local transport into the city, where the Euro is the official currency.
