Taiwan (Chinese Taipei) to Cameroon visa requirements

Q: Is there visa on arrival in Cameroon for Taiwanese travelers?

There is no true visa on arrival. You must obtain the eVisa online first; on arrival only biometrics are captured and the sticker affixed using your approved authorization.

Q: How much does the Cameroon eVisa cost?

The official short-stay fee is about EUR 153 for standard processing and EUR 229 for express, payable online by card or mobile payment.

Q: How long does processing take?

Standard applications are processed in roughly 72 hours and express in about 24 hours after payment. Apply at least 10 days before departure.

Q: Do I need a yellow fever vaccination?

Yes. A valid yellow fever vaccination certificate is mandatory and is required during the eVisa application and at entry.

Q: How long can I stay and how many entries do I get?

The short-stay eVisa is valid for up to 180 days and can be issued for single or multiple entries, allowing up to about 90 days per visit.

Taiwan ordinary passport holders need a visa for Cameroon, and since 30 April 2023 it must be obtained as an eVisa online via the official portal evisacam.cm before travel. There is no visa-free or true visa-on-arrival option. Cameroon does not grant visa-free entry to Taiwan (TW) ordinary passport holders. Following a presidential reform effective 30 April 2023, all entry visas must be applied for exclusively online through the official consular portal www.evisacam.cm; embassies and consulates no longer issue visa stickers in advance, and there is no genuine visa-free or visa-on-arrival channel for Taiwanese travelers. A short-stay eVisa covers tourism, family visits, business and event participation. The official fee published by Cameroon's diplomatic missions is EUR 153 for standard short-stay processing (about 72 hours) and EUR 229 for express (about 24 hours), with the visa valid for up to 180 days and issued for single or multiple entries. On arrival in Cameroon, the traveler completes biometric enrollment and has the visa sticker affixed at the port of entry using the QR-coded online authorization. A passport valid at least six months and a valid yellow fever vaccination certificate are mandatory. Cameroon is in Central Africa and is not part of the Schengen area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply. Travelers should apply at least 10 days before departure and no more than six months ahead.
