Cameroon Transit eVisa

A layover through Douala or Yaoundé can turn complicated fast if the connection means stepping outside the terminal. The Cameroon Transit eVisa exists for exactly that situation, required whenever a traveller needs to clear immigration during a stopover rather than staying airside until the next flight.

Getting one together means gathering a passport scan, proof of yellow fever vaccination, entry authorisation for the destination country, and confirmation of the onward journey. Single-entry and multiple-entry versions are both available, depending on how many times the route crosses through Cameroon. Standard processing runs 9 to 11 working days, though faster options exist for anyone working against a tighter travel window. Overstaying isn't worth risking either, since extensions aren't possible once the visa is issued.
