Türkiye to Cameroon visa requirements

Yes, a visa is required. Turkish ordinary passport holders must obtain a Cameroon visa before traveling for tourism. The standard channel is the official online eVisa (launched 2023), applied for at evisacam.cm; Turkish nationals can also apply in person at the Cameroon Embassy in Ankara. Cameroon requires Turkish ordinary passport holders to hold a visa for any tourist or short visit. Only holders of diplomatic and service passports enjoy a 90-day exemption, and ordinary passport visa-free access is limited to a handful of regional African states (CAR, Chad, Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Mali, Nigeria). Turkish travelers should use Cameroon's official electronic visa system at www.evisacam.cm, which has been the standard channel since 2023. The applicant registers online, uploads the required documents, pays the fee, and within roughly 72 hours (24 hours with express service) receives an online visa authorization with a QR code by email. Because Cameroon maintains an embassy in Ankara, Turkish applicants typically have the visa issued/finalized through the embassy or via the eVisa portal; the airport-pickup option is intended for travelers in countries with no Cameroon diplomatic mission. The short-stay tourist visa is valid for up to 180 days and can be single or multiple entry, with the first entry generally required within three months of issuance. A yellow fever vaccination certificate is mandatory for entry. Cameroon does not offer a genuine visa-on-arrival: travelers must have either an eVisa authorization or an embassy-issued visa before boarding. Fee figures vary by source (the Ankara embassy lists EUR 115 for a 3-month tourist visa, while the central eVisa schedule lists EUR 153 normal / EUR 229 express for short-stay); travelers should confirm the exact amount on evisacam.cm at the time of application. As a precaution travelers should carry proof of onward/return travel, a hotel booking, and proof of sufficient funds.
