Our guide to the India visa from Cameroon

Cameroonians travelling to India must obtain an e-Visa before the trip. This visa is applied for online, only on the Indian government’s official portal, and must be granted before boarding.

For holders of a passport from Cameroon, the process takes place on indianvisaonline.gov.in: an online form, scanned documents, then payment of the official fee recorded at 25 to 80 USD. With a recorded processing time of 72 to 96 hours, it is wise to start the application well before your flight to India.

Where do you apply for a visa for India from Cameroon?

An e-visa for India is filed entirely online: there is no counter to visit and no file to hand in. The only address that matters is the official portal.

The application, the supporting documents and the payment all go through the official portal, from any country.
Lookalike sites copy the portal’s name and layout, then resell the same application with a margin. Check the domain before you type in a passport number.
The authorisation arrives by email. Keep a printed copy, some airlines ask for it at boarding.

Using an online service

You never have to use an intermediary. If you would rather have a service fill in and file the application online for you before departure, iVisa does it for a service fee, charged on top of the official fees. It does not change the decision.

You live in Cameroon on another passport?

The regime follows your nationality, not where you live. If you reside in Cameroon but travel on another country's passport, the rule on this page is not yours. Filing usually still happens from your country of residence, at the post competent for it, but the requirement itself comes from your passport.

Processing time and tips

Common mistakes

Paying an unofficial website that resells the process at a higher price is a common trap: only the indianvisaonline.gov.in portal should be used. Other frequent mistakes include a name or passport number entered incorrectly, a photo rejected for poor quality, or a departure planned before the authorisation has been received.
