Singapore to Cameroon visa requirements

Singapore ordinary passport holders need a visa to enter Cameroon. The standard route is the official Cameroon eVisa (apply online at evisacam.cm), with biometric enrollment and the physical visa printed at the airport or border on arrival. There is no full visa-free or visa-on-arrival channel for ordinary tourists. As of mid-2026, Cameroon requires Singapore (SG) ordinary passport holders to obtain a visa before travel for tourism or short visits. Cameroon is not visa-free for Singaporeans and is not in the Schengen area, so Schengen 90/180 and ETIAS rules do not apply. The correct and officially supported method is the Cameroon eVisa, applied for through the government portal www.evisacam.cm. The process has four stages: online pre-registration (open an account and complete the form), online payment, processing (visa authorization with a QR code issued, normally within about 72 hours of payment), and finally biometric enrollment plus printing of the physical visa at the airport or a land border post on arrival. The official short-stay visa fee published by Cameroon's diplomatic missions is 153 EUR for stays of 1 to 180 days (an express 24-hour option is around 229 EUR); many third-party agency sites quote different USD figures and add service charges, so applicants should use the official portal. Short-stay visas can be single or multiple entry and are valid for a maximum of 180 days. Passports should be valid at least 6 months beyond the intended stay, and a valid yellow fever vaccination certificate is mandatory for entry. Applications are recommended at least 10 days before travel and cannot be lodged more than 6 months ahead. A visa-on-arrival exists only for holders of a pre-arranged approval from the Delegue General de la Surete Nationale, which is not the standard tourist route. Travelers should verify details on the official portal close to departure, as fees and procedures can change.
