Information, Applications and Procedures for:
Cameroon Business & Tourist Visas

A valid passport and visa are required to enter Cameroon. Persons arriving without valid passports and the appropriate visa may not be permitted to enter and will be subject to a fine and immediate deportation at the traveler's expense.

Please follow the instructions below. After you read all the instructions, if you have any questions, call us at 1-800-806-0581 before you start the process.

Send us your current valid and signed passport. It must not expire within 6 months and must have at least one blank visa page. If you do not have any blank visa pages in your passport, you must first amend your passport to have pages added. A Briggs will secure your visa using the added pages. If your passport expires within six months, you must renew your passport and then we will secure your visa with the new passport.

Send 2 visa application form completed and signed with your signature in blue ink.

Cameroon Visa Application

You must submit 2 passport photographs taken by a passport photographer. Digital and non-passport style photographs are not acceptable. Homemade photos are most often rejected by the Cameroon Embassy.

Passport Photo Requirements

Submit a computer-generated flight itinerary from your travel agent, airline, or online booking agency. The itinerary must show the applicant's name, date of arrival and departure from the country, and flight information.

The itinerary is required because the Cameroon Embassy wants to know the dates you plan to arrive and depart from the country.

NOTE: Processing times are business days. The first day begins the day after your package is received by A Briggs except in the case of pre-arranged same day service when available. Prices are per applicant.

The A Briggs fees are:

$55 for regular service for which we secure your visa from the Embassy in its normal time of issuance; or

$135 for rush service for which we secure your visa as quickly as the Embassy will issue it.

$175 for same day service when available. Please call 1-800-806-0581 in advance to determine availability.

Processing times are business days and do not include shipping time. Keep this in mind when placing your order. We count “days” the same way the passport office and embassies count days: if we receive and submit the document on Monday, then Tuesday is the first day, Wednesday is two days, etc. (we do submit documents every business day).
