Published government charges. Check the official service for the final total before you pay.
Entry conditions and exceptions
Check whether these rules affect your eligibility, application, or arrival.
Short-stay visa price and validity are separate from permitted stay
The ministry lists XAF 100,000 for ordinary and XAF 150,000 for express short-stay visas, with visa validity up to six months. Confirm the live checkout amount and the actual stay granted on your visa; six-month validity is not a six-month stay.
Official guidance [1]A QR authorization is a visa-issuance step
After consular review, applicants farther from a mission may receive a QR-code authorization and have the visa affixed at the entry point. Applicants near the responsible mission may instead be called for biometrics and collect the visa there. Follow the instruction in your own decision notice.
Official guidance [1]Prepare yellow-fever vaccination proof
UK entry guidance says travelers need a yellow-fever vaccination certificate for Cameroon. Ask a travel-health professional about medical eligibility and carry the certificate or applicable exemption before travel.
Official guidance [3]Before and during your visit to Cameroon
Allow time for consular review
The ministry describes a 72-hour ordinary and 24-hour express procedural window after pre-enrolment, but a consular review and possible biometric appointment still apply. Submit early and wait for an approval before departure.

Does my country of residence change the answer?
