Apply for your Cameroon eVisa online
Expert-reviewed Cameroon eVisa application. Simple and quick process with iVisa.
Cameroon eVisa requirements
All travelers (except those from visa-exempt countries) are required to obtain a Cameroon eVisa for tourism, business, family visits, and short-term study.
The process is entirely online, but travelers must present their printed eVisa clearance at a designated 'biometric enrollment' point upon arrival to have the final visa sticker placed in their passport.
Required documents for the Cameroon eVisa
Requirements verified against official government sources
- A valid passport (must be valid for at least six months from arrival)
- Proof of accommodation and flight details
- Yellow fever vaccination certificate
- Bank statements
- Valid email address
Requirements may vary depending on nationality.

- Who it's for
- Travelers visiting Cameroon for tourism, business, or to see family. Nationals of the Central African economic bloc and of Mali and Nigeria enter visa-free, and dual nationals who still hold Cameroonian nationality must go through an embassy instead.
- Permitted activities
- Tourism, business, and transit. Study, employment, and living in Cameroon are not covered. Business travelers file the same application but add a cover letter, a host invitation, proof of residence, and a recent bank statement.
- How you travel
- This authorization covers arrival by air at Yaounde Nsimalen and Douala airports. Travelers arriving by road or sea must apply at a Cameroonian consulate and cannot use it.
- Delivery format
- A printed authorization carrying a scannable code is what gets you onto the plane. It is not the final visa: an officer places the visa sticker in your passport at a biometric enrollment point, either on arrival or at an embassy beforehand, depending on where you live.
- Good to know
- Minors need their own eVisa at any age, with a notarized parental authorization and a birth certificate matching the parents' names. A yellow fever vaccination certificate is mandatory for every traveler, and a missing one is the most common reason an application fails.
- Validity
- Valid for 6 months
- Entry
- Single entry
- Length of stay
- Stay up to 6 months per entry
- Processing time
- Get it in as fast as 4 days

Everything was clear and straightforward. I never had to struggle to figure out what I needed to do. And the whole process was very quickly done.
Although a little confusing at times for people not used to doing things on line the service was good with good communication and fast response
When always I asked for help. The response was very quick. And they also followed up to see if you need any other assistance. I appreciate the team. And also, I got the evisa in less than a week.
It was nice and easy but I still think the fee is way to much in relative to other countries .
My experience using ivisa was a very good one. The whole process is very clear and simple.
I’ve made an excellent experience especially with the support team who helped and guide me in all the steps. And where all available to answer my questions. Thank you
This process is an excellent one. The best that it has ever been. It is clear and simple and straight forward, if you have all the documents. Thank you.
Just simple ,and we can really save time ,and stay focused on other issues
I love the swift response and very good customer service. But what I don’t like is the too much documentation and too many steps to follow.
The speedy one to one interaction wit hthe help line and the constant electronic update on status or requirements proved to be most assuring and helpful
Cameroon visa FAQs
Quick answers to the most common questions about the Cameroon eVisa.
Still have questions?
Our visa experts are available 24/7 on chat, email, and WhatsApp.
Do I need a Cameroon eVisa?
Unless you are from a visa-exempt country (mostly neighboring CEMAC nations), you must have a valid eVisa. If you are only transiting for less than 5 days, you may apply for a Transit eVisa, which can sometimes be cheaper.
What is the mandatory Yellow Fever requirement?
Cameroon strictly requires all incoming travelers to provide proof of vaccination against Yellow Fever. You must upload a scan of your International Certificate of Vaccination (Yellow Book) during the application process and carry the original with you to show health officials upon arrival.
How will I receive the Cameroon eVisa?
You will receive a PDF registration receipt via email. This is not the final visa sticker, but the official authorization that allows you to board your flight. Upon arrival at the airport in Cameroon, you will head to the eVisa counter to provide your fingerprints and receive the physical visa sticker in your passport.
How long can I stay in Cameroon with an eVisa?
An eVisa typically allows a stay of up to 90 days.
How long does Cameroon eVisa processing take?
Most applications are processed within 3 to 10 days. We recommend applying well in advance of your travel date. With iVisa, you choose your processing speed at checkout, and the option you pick is shown with its delivery time before you pay.
Do children/minors need a Cameroon eVisa?
Yes. Every traveler must have their own visa. For minors, you may need to upload additional documents such as a birth certificate. You can easily apply together as a group or family through iVisa, by clicking "Add another person" during the application process.
What happens if my Cameroon eVisa application is denied?
Common reasons involve not having a Yellow Fever certificate. iVisa's experts review your application to ensure your documentation is complete, before sending it off to the government.
Can I get a visa on arrival without an eVisa?
No. Cameroon has moved away from traditional "on-arrival" applications without prior registration. You must complete the online eVisa process and have your digital clearance receipt before you board your flight. Attempting to arrive without it may result in being denied entry or deported.
Can I extend my Cameroon eVisa?
Yes, you can extend your stay in Cameroon, but the process must be done in person at the DGSN Headquarters in Yaoundé, once you are already in the country. You must do this at least 15 days before the validity expires. It is not possible to extend the eVisa through the online portal once it has been issued.
