Length of stay is determined by the visa and border officer; the sources do not give a visa-free stay period for this passport.
For short tourist/business entry on an ordinary passport, obtain a visa before travel.

Common questions
No visa-free entry is sourced for this combination. The Central African Republic visa-policy source lists specific visa-exempt countries and says other visitors must obtain a visa from a Central African Republic or French diplomatic mission; I found no Central African Republic rule making a U.S. visa a substitute for a CAR visa.
I found no rule making those held documents a substitute for a Central African Republic visa. UK government travel advice and visa-requirement sources list British passports as visa required; the CAR visa-policy source lists nationality-based exemptions and does not list these held-document waivers.
Do not treat the ABTC as a visa waiver for Central African Republic. The APEC Business Travel Card visa/pre-clearance mechanism applies to APEC economies; Central African Republic is not an APEC economy, and the CAR visa-policy source does not list an ABTC exemption.
No. Sources show the prior U.S. citizen visa exemption was cancelled on 2023-11-17; U.S. passport travel to Central African Republic is now listed as visa required.
