Malaysia to Cameroon visa requirements

Q: Where do I apply for the Cameroon eVisa?

Only through the official government portal at evisacam.cm. Avoid unofficial third-party sites that add service fees and are not the government source.

Q: Is a yellow fever vaccination required?

Yes. A valid international yellow fever vaccination certificate is mandatory to apply for the eVisa and to enter Cameroon.

Q: How long does processing take?

Standard eVisa applications are processed within 72 hours of payment; an express 24-hour option is available at a higher fee. Apply at least 10 days before departure.

Q: How much does the Cameroon eVisa cost?

The short-stay (1-180 days) normal eVisa is about EUR 153, and the 24-hour express option is about EUR 229, plus the cost of your yellow fever vaccination.

Q: How far in advance can I apply?

You can apply up to 6 months before your planned entry date, and it is recommended to apply at least 10 days ahead.

Malaysian ordinary passport holders need a Cameroon eVisa before travel. Apply online at the official portal evisacam.cm; visa on arrival is not available, and a yellow fever vaccination certificate is mandatory. As of June 2026, Malaysia is not on Cameroon's short visa-exemption list (which covers mainly neighboring CEMAC/regional states such as Nigeria, Chad, CAR and the Republic of Congo). Malaysian ordinary passport holders therefore require a visa for tourism. Since the Cameroonian government moved its visa system fully online (effective 30 April 2023), all entry visas must be applied for through the official portal at evisacam.cm. There is no traditional visa on arrival: even travelers from countries without a Cameroonian mission must register/apply online and have the approved eVisa printed at the airport or border post before entry. For a short tourist trip, a single-entry short-stay eVisa is the correct channel. The government quotes EUR-denominated fees on its consular network: short-stay normal (1-180 days) around EUR 153 and express (24-hour) around EUR 229; standard processing is completed within 72 hours of payment. A yellow fever vaccination certificate is a mandatory health requirement for entry. Apply at least 10 days before departure, but not more than 6 months ahead.
