🇨🇲Cameroon

Typically bring

• A passport valid for six months beyond your stay with at least one blank page
• A recent passport‑size photo taken to the specified standards
• An electronic copy or printout of the e‑Visa approval
• A return or onward flight ticket
• Proof of sufficient funds for the duration of your stay (bank statement or credit card statement)

Watch out for

• Applying too close to your departure date may leave insufficient time for processing; start the e‑Visa process early.
• Relying on unofficial e‑Visa sites can lead to scams; use the official portal only.
• Be careful that the e‑Visa approval matches your passport details exactly; mismatches can cause entry denial.
• Keep the e‑Visa confirmation in a safe place; losing it could create trouble at immigration.

Good to know

• The currency is the Central African CFA franc (XAF); credit cards are accepted in major cities but cash is essential in rural areas.
• French is the official language, though English is also spoken in some regions; learning basic French phrases helps.
• The capital Yaoundé has an international airport with connections to several African cities.
• Connectivity in cities is generally good, but rural areas may have limited internet; a local SIM card can be handy.
• Standard safety precautions apply: avoid isolated areas at night, be vigilant against pickpocketing, and stay aware of local news.
