Philippines to Cameroon visa requirements

Yes, a visa is required. Philippine ordinary passport holders must obtain a Cameroon eVisa before travel through the official government portal evisacam.cm. Since 30 April 2023 the eVisa is the only channel; embassy walk-in visas and traditional visa-on-arrival have been phased out. After approval you travel with the eVisa approval, and the physical visa sticker is issued at the border post after biometric (fingerprint/photo) enrolment on arrival. A Philippine passport holder needs a visa to enter Cameroon for tourism. Cameroon launched a mandatory electronic visa (eVisa) system on 30 April 2023 via the official portal evisacam.cm, replacing prior embassy and on-arrival processes for most nationalities (Filipinos included). The applicant pre-registers online, pays the fee, and the application is processed (standard within roughly 72 hours of payment; express within 24 hours). The eVisa approval is carried to Cameroon, where biometric enrolment is completed and the visa sticker is affixed to the passport at the entry border post (e.g., Douala or Yaounde airport). The short-stay tourist eVisa typically permits stays of up to 30 days within a validity window and is single entry by default. A yellow fever vaccination certificate (ICVP) is mandatory for entry, and the passport must be valid at least six months with a blank page. Cameroon is in Central Africa and is not part of the Schengen area, so Schengen 90/180 and ETIAS rules do not apply. Because no visa-free or genuine visa-on-arrival channel exists for Philippine ordinary passport holders, the verdict is eVisa (visa required, obtained electronically before travel).
