Our guide to the Cameroon visa from Ghana
Yes, nationals of Ghana must obtain an e-Visa to travel to Cameroon. The application is submitted online before departure, on the official portal of the Cameroonian authorities, and the journey should only begin once it has been approved.
Ghanaians used to moving freely within ECOWAS should know that Cameroon is not a member: an online e-Visa application is essential before the trip. The price and processing time are not verified here; they must be confirmed on the official portal or with Cameroon’s diplomatic mission responsible for Ghana.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. For a short tourist stay in Cameroon, holders of a Ghanaian passport must obtain an e-Visa before leaving. The application is made online on the official portal of the Cameroonian authorities. Without approval, check-in for the flight may be refused, so wait for the answer before setting off.

Where do you apply for a visa for Cameroon from Ghana?
An e-visa for Cameroon 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 Ghana on another passport?
The regime follows your nationality, not where you live. If you reside in Ghana 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.

How long does an e-visa for Cameroon take?
No verified processing time is published for this route. Apply as early as your travel dates allow, and never book non-refundable travel before the e-visa is granted.
Processing times and tips
No verified processing time is available; check the official portal and apply as soon as your travel dates are known. Make sure your passport remains valid for the whole stay, and ask the health authorities about Cameroon’s entry requirements, particularly vaccination. Finally, keep the e-Visa confirmation close at hand, printed and on your phone.

Common mistakes
Assuming that a Ghanaian passport is enough, as in most West African countries, can lead to boarding being refused. Unofficial intermediary sites that overcharge for the procedure are the other trap to avoid. Finally, a poor-quality photo or a mistake in the passport number delays the review of the file, so check everything before submitting.
