Visas

The information provided below is indicative, kindly contact the closest Cameroonian Embassy for further information and visit the FAQ section at https://evisacam.cm/

If you are not a Cameroonian, then you most likely need a visa to enter Cameroon. Only Nigerians, Chadians and Central Africans don't need a visa to enter Cameroon. Citizens from CEMAC Countries may check with the Cameroonian embassy in their country whether they need a visa or not.

Fortunately, the visa application process has recently been made easier. Applications are submitted online (https://evisacam.cm/) and the expected processing time is about 3 working days. Once the visa is processed, you can either go to a competent Cameroonian diplomatic mission for fingerprint enrolment formalities, in which case the visa is printed in your passport directly, or, you can travel with a printed version of the online visa issuance authorisation (containing a QR Code), in which case the fingerprint enrolment formalities and the visa collection are done at the entry airport. We recommend collecting your visa before arriving in Cameroon whenever it is possible.   Even though the precessing time takes only 3 days, it is recommended to apply for the visa as early as possible. 

There are visa fees (about 153 EUR) to be paid when submitting the online visa application.

A proof of yellow fever vaccination is compulsory to enter Cameroon. 

In general, the following documents are needed for the visa application: 

• A passport or any other travel document with a validity of at least six (6) months;

• A valid round-trip air ticket;

• International vaccination certificates;

• Evidence of the purpose of the visit, including adequate means of subsistence and accommodation;

• A certificate of accommodation issued by the person undertaking to host the visitor, with the signature of the mayor territorially competent or better still, a firm hotel reservation for the projected duration of stay;

• A certificate of residence of the applicant;

• A document which can be used as evidence of the profession of the applicant.
