Documents and fees
Prepare a legible scan of the data page of your international passport and a recent passport photo. The portal may also ask for supporting documents such as a hotel booking, a return ticket or a letter of invitation; if these are in Russian, check whether a translation into French or English is required. No verified amount is available: only the fee displayed on the official portal or given by the embassy is authoritative.
How to apply for an e-visa for Cameroon from Russia
- 1Fill in the form on the destination’s official portal.
- 2Upload the required documents (passport, photo, supporting papers).
- 3Pay the fee online by card.
- 4Receive the authorisation by email, usually without a consular visit.
- 5Show the authorisation, printed or on your phone, at boarding.
How to apply
Use your international passport, not the internal passport, to fill in the form: this is the document that will be checked at boarding and on entry. Enter your names exactly as in the machine-readable zone, in Latin characters, upload the requested documents and then pay the fee. Before paying, check that your payment method is accepted by the portal, particularly if it is a card issued in Russia.
Where do you apply for a visa for Cameroon from Russia?
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.
You live in Russia on another passport?
The regime follows your nationality, not where you live. If you reside in Russia 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
The processing time is not given here: check it on the portal and apply as soon as your dates are set. Itineraries from Russia often include a stopover, so check the transit conditions at that airport. Also ask about Cameroon’s health entry requirements, including vaccinations, and keep the e-Visa confirmation printed and on your phone.

Common mistakes
Applying with the internal passport number, or then travelling with a passport other than the one declared, can lead to boarding being refused. Unofficial intermediary sites that charge service fees on top of the official price should be avoided. A transliteration of your name that differs from the passport, or a non-compliant photo, also delays the decision.

Tips for extending your stay in Cameroon
- Contact local immigration services (General Directorate of Immigration) upon arrival if you plan to extend your stay, as processing times may vary.
- Keep copies of all your travel and stay documents, including visa payment receipts, to facilitate procedures in case of checks or extensions.
- For prolonged stays, inquire about specific requirements (presence declaration, police registration, etc.).
A Russian traveler arriving in Douala with a 30-day on-arrival tourist visa can request an additional 30-day extension at the General Directorate of Immigration in Yaoundé, upon payment of a fee and presentation of supporting documents (passport, ticket, proof of accommodation, etc.).
