e-Visa180 days max stay

Marshall Islands passport holders can apply online for a Cameroon e-Visa before travel. Unlike an eTA, this is an actual visa — just issued digitally — so no embassy visit is needed for eligible short-term visits. Eligibility and covered purposes vary, so check the conditions below.

All ordinary passport holders not covered by bilateral exemption agreements must apply online through the official evisacam.cm portal (operated by MINREX). Short-stay visa up to 6 months (180 days) - normal processing 72 hours, fee XAF 100,000 / approx. EUR 152; express processing 24 hours, fee XAF 150,000 / approx. EUR 229. Long-stay visa up to 12 months (360 days) - fee XAF 150,000 normal / XAF 200,000 express per diplocam.cm. Transit visa up to 5 days (free) per diplocam.cm. NOTE: Cameroon High Commission UK (cameroonhighcommission.co.uk) cites a paid transit visa at EUR 153 for 4-30 days - this may represent a separate paid transit category; the free 5-day transit is sourced from diplocam.cm (MINREX official). Visa sticker affixed at embassy/high commission or at border entry point. Launched April 30, 2023 per Decree No. 2023/147 of 02 March 2023 implementing Law No. 97/012 of 10 January 1997.
