Vietnam to Cameroon visa requirements

Yes, a visa is required. Vietnamese ordinary passport holders must obtain a Cameroon eVisa online before travel through the official portal evisacam.cm; biometrics are captured and the visa is finalised on arrival. Vietnam is not on Cameroon's visa-exempt list, so an ordinary Vietnamese passport holder needs a visa for any short tourist visit. Since 2023 Cameroon operates a centralised electronic visa (eVisa) system at the official portal www.evisacam.cm, which has replaced most paper embassy applications. Travelers pre-register online, complete the form, pay the fee, and receive an online authorisation with a QR code by email. The visa is finalised at the point of entry (international airport or land border) where biometric data (fingerprints, photo) is captured and the physical visa is printed before clearing immigration. Cameroon does not offer a true walk-up visa-on-arrival for ordinary passports — the eVisa must be approved before boarding. A short-stay tourist eVisa permits stays of up to 180 days and can be single or multiple entry. A valid International Certificate of Vaccination against Yellow Fever is mandatory for all arrivals. Cameroon is not part of the Schengen area, so Schengen 90/180 and ETIAS rules do not apply. The High Commission of Cameroon lists the short-stay fee as EUR 153 (standard, processed within 72 hours of payment) or EUR 229 (express, within 24 hours); some missions quote the equivalent in local currency.
