Cameroon eVisa for Dual Nationals

Traveling to Cameroon as a dual national? Things can get tricky—Cameroon doesn’t officially recognize dual nationality! If you have both a Cameroonian passport and another—for example, French or American—you’re usually seen as a foreigner under Cameroonian law. That means you do need a visa—and here’s how to make it smooth. Step 1: Always use your foreign passport—from application to arrival. Whether it’s French, British, American… pick one and stick with it. Step 2: Apply for your e-Visa using that foreign passport. Upload a clear scan, a passport-style photo, flight reservations, hotel booking or invitation letter, and your yellow fever vaccination certificate. If you’re under 18, make sure to include parental authorization too. Don’t switch passports mid-process—that can delay your entry or even get you denied. Consistency is key. At arrival, show only your foreign passport and e-Visa approval, along with your yellow fever card. Using that passport means your foreign embassy can help you if anything goes wrong—but only if you enter with that passport. And here’s a pro tip: Not sure if Cameroon still recognizes you as a citizen? Double-check with your embassy before booking. So remember: pick one passport—go with your foreign one—apply early, be consistent, and travel smart. Your journey to Cameroon starts with the right steps!
