About the Cameroon visa

Cameroon is often called 'Africa in miniature' for its mix of beaches, rainforests, mountains and savannah, including Mount Cameroon and the beaches of Kribi. Indian passport holders can apply for a Cameroon e-Visa online.

After online approval, you print the e-Visa and present it on arrival. Some regions of the country are affected by unrest, so check advisories before travelling.
