Visa & Entry

US passport holders need a visa to enter Cameroon. Apply at the Cameroon Embassy in Washington, D.C. or the Consulate in Houston before departure. Required documents include a completed application form, two passport photos, a return ticket, proof of accommodation, a yellow fever vaccination certificate, and the visa fee of $171 for a single-entry tourist visa (valid for up to 90 days). Passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond the date of entry. Processing takes 5 to 10 working days.

There is no eVisa or visa on arrival for US nationals. The embassy visa is the only path. Yellow fever vaccination is mandatory and the certificate is checked at immigration at Douala (DLA) or Yaounde Nsimalen (NSI) airports. Bring a printed copy of your visa approval along with your passport. Some travelers report that having a hotel reservation confirmation printed speeds up the immigration process.

No direct flights connect the US to Cameroon. Route through Paris (about 6 hours to Douala on Air France), Brussels (about 7 hours on Brussels Airlines), or Addis Ababa (about 5 hours on Ethiopian Airlines). Total travel time from the US East Coast runs 14 to 20 hours. Cameroon uses the Central African CFA franc (XAF), pegged to the euro at 655.957 XAF per EUR 1, trading at roughly 600 XAF per $1. ATMs are available in Douala and Yaounde. Card payments work at hotels and larger restaurants. Local transport relies on shared taxis and minibuses.
