Can I get a visa on arrival in Cameroon?

No. There is no general visa on arrival; you must complete the eVisa pre-registration online before travelling.

How does the Cameroon eVisa work?

You pre-register and pay online at evisacam.cm, receive an authorisation with a QR code, and the visa sticker is affixed to your passport at the border.

What documents do I need for Cameroon?

A passport valid for at least six months with two blank pages, a recent photo, a return ticket, proof of accommodation and a yellow-fever certificate. We review each document before submitting.

How long can I stay in Cameroon?

The tourist eVisa typically allows up to 30 days and can be extended in Yaoundé before it expires.

How long does Cameroon visa processing take?

How long is a Cameroon visa valid and how long can I stay?

The Cameroon Tourist eVisa permits a stay of Up to 30 days and is valid for 3 months from issue (single entry). Make sure your passport has at least six months of validity remaining from your date of arrival, as this is the most common reason Cameroon applications are refused.
