Cameroon begins online visa application service April 30

Foreign Minister of Cameroon, Lejeune Mbella, on Friday disclosed that visa entry applications to the country will begin online from April 30.

He added that the procedure will be done within 72 hours from the date of pre-enrollment, or 24 hours in the case of express visa applications.

Mbella noted that applications would be carried out “exclusively” online via www.evisacam.cm, adding that online visa authorisation will be issued to respective applicants.

The minister disclosed that applicants can then go to either a diplomatic mission or a border post to actually obtain their visas.

“For applicants in areas far-flung from a diplomatic mission or those not covered by a mission, “an online visa authorisation, together with a QR code, shall round off the phase.”

“Cameroon’s e-visa system is part of an effort to turn Cameroon into a more attractive destination, while at the same time addressing some of the concerns of Cameroon’s diaspora and aligning our consular system with the highest international standard.”
