Do Cameroon Citizens Need a Visa for the UAE?

Yes. Cameroon is not a visa-exempt country. All Cameroonian citizens must obtain a valid visa prior to boarding their flight. The UAE eVisa system allows you to complete the entire process online, eliminating the need to visit an embassy or consulate in person. This electronic travel permit is required for tourism, leisure, and short-term business visits.

⚠️ Government Update for Cameroon Passport Holders

Important Notice: As of the latest regulations, the most commonly issued and recommended entry permit for Cameroonians is the 60-Day Single Entry Tourist Visa.

Due to recent policy adjustments, applicants from Cameroon may require additional administrative procedures compared to other nationalities. We recommend starting your application at least 10 business days before your travel date.

Required Documents for Cameroon Applicants

To ensure a high success rate for your UAE visa application, please prepare the following digital files:

  • Valid Passport: A high-quality scan of your Cameroon passport bio-page (valid for at least 6 months).
  • Passport Photos: Two recent color photographs (white background, clear facial features).
  • Blank Pages: Your passport must have at least 02 blank pages for stamping.
  • Travel Insurance: The UAE Government mandates Travel Insurance with COVID-19 coverage for all visitors. This can be included in your application for approximately $299 USD.
