Cameroon eVisa for Citizens of Serbia

Are you planning a trip from the historic streets of Belgrade to the vibrant, diverse landscapes of Cameroon? Whether you are traveling for a new business opportunity, visiting family, or exploring "Africa in Miniature" as a tourist, getting your visa is the most important part of your pre-trip planning.

Since 2023, Cameroon has modernized its entry process by introducing a digital visa system. This means Serbian citizens no longer need to worry about mailing physical passports to distant embassies. This guide covers everything you need to know about the Cameroon eVisa for Serbia.

Do citizens of Serbia need a visa to visit Cameroon?

Yes. If you are traveling on a Serbian passport, you must have a valid visa to enter Cameroon. The current standard is the eVisa (Electronic Visa). You complete your application online to receive a digital "Authorization to Enter." Once you land at an airport in Cameroon, such as Douala or Yaoundé Nsimalen, immigration officers will verify this authorization and place the official visa sticker in your passport.

Transit eVisa: How does it work for short layovers?

If you are only passing through a Cameroonian airport on your way to another destination, you may still need a Transit eVisa.

• When you need it: If you plan to leave the airport transit zone or if your layover is longer than 24 hours.
• Options: You can choose between a Single Entry Transit (one stop) or a Multiple Entry Transit if your return journey also passes through Cameroon. It requires the same basic documents but focuses on your onward flight ticket.

Urgent Visa: What are your options for last-minute travel?

Sometimes travel opportunities come up suddenly. If you need your visa "yesterday," don't panic. Through cameroon-evisa.org, you can access the Super Rush tier. While the standard time is about 11 days, the Super Rush option prioritizes your file to get an approval in as little as 5 to 7 working days. This is the fastest way for Serbian travelers to secure legal entry on short notice.

How long does the Cameroon eVisa take to process?

We know that waiting for travel documents can be stressful. You can choose from three different processing speeds to fit your schedule:

• Standard Processing: 9 - 11 Working Days
• Rush Processing: 7 - 9 Working Days
• Super Rush Processing: 5 - 7 Working Days

Travel Tip: We recommend applying at least 20 days before your flight just to be safe, even if you choose a faster tier.

What are the core entry rules you must follow at the border?

Getting the visa is step one; entering the country is step two. At the border, you must:

• Show Your Printed Authorization: Do not just show it on your phone; bring a physical copy.
• Biometric Enrollment: You will have your fingerprints scanned and a photo taken at the airport.
• Health Check: Officers will verify your Yellow Fever certificate immediately. Without this, you may be denied entry.

What are the rules for children and minors traveling to Cameroon?

Traveling with the family requires a bit more paperwork. Regardless of age, every child needs their own passport and their own eVisa.

• Birth Certificate: Carry a copy of the child's birth certificate (translated into English or French).
• Parental Consent: If only one parent is traveling, you must have a notarized letter of consent from the non-traveling parent.
• Guardian Documents: If the child is traveling with someone other than their parents, legal guardianship papers are required.

Should you apply for a Single Entry or a Multiple Entry visa?

• Single Entry: This is usually enough for a one-off holiday. Once you leave, the visa expires.
• Multiple Entry: This is the better choice for business travelers who might need to hop over to a neighboring country like Gabon or Chad and then return to Cameroon.
