Okay, here is my sharing about how I got a Cameroon visa online.
So I needed to get a visa to visit Cameroon. I heard that you can apply for one online now, and I thought, “Why not give it a try?” I did some research and found out that it is called an eVisa. I was happy that I didn’t need to go to the embassy in person.
First, I checked if I really needed a visa. Turns out, as a US citizen, I do need one, no matter if it is for tourism or business. After I knew I needed a visa, I went to find the official website. And then I had to figure out what kind of visa I needed.

Steps I Took to Get My eVisa
- Finding the Right Website: I searched online and eventually found a website that seemed official.
- Checking Visa Requirements: I confirmed that I needed a visa for my trip, which I did.
- Picking the Visa Type: I looked through the options and chose the one that fit my travel plans.
- Filling Out the Application: This part took a while. I had to fill in all sorts of personal information and travel details. It was a little tedious, but I made sure to double-check everything.
- Uploading Documents: I had to scan and upload my passport and a photo. Getting the photo right was a bit of a pain.
- Paying the Fee: I paid the visa fee online. It felt a little risky, but the website seemed secure enough.
- Waiting for Approval: After submitting everything, all I could do was wait. I kept checking my email like a hawk. I was kind of nervous during this period, but tried to stay positive.
- Getting the eVisa: Finally, I got an email saying my visa was approved! It was such a relief. I printed it out, and I was all set.
Honestly, the whole process was pretty straightforward. It was way more convenient than having to go to an embassy. There were a few times when I got a little confused, but I managed to figure it out. And the feeling when I got the approval email? Awesome!
So, if you are planning to visit Cameroon, I recommend trying the online visa application. It is a good way to save your time. Just make sure you have all your documents ready, and be patient while waiting for the approval. Good luck!
