Romania→Cameroon
Romania to Cameroon
What should I do before I travel?
Before you travel, arrange a physical Cameroonian visa in advance. The visa must be applied for at an embassy or consulate; Cameroon keeps no embassy in Romania, so you will need to use a Cameroonian embassy or consular post that accepts visa applications from Romanian nationals (the nearest listed Cameroonian embassy is in Nigeria).
Ensure you have a valid passport to present with your visa application and for border control when travelling to Cameroon.
Consider buying travel insurance for your trip; it is recommended but not required for entry.
What happens at the border?
A physical visa, obtained beforehand from a Cameroonian embassy or consulate, is the required permission to enter Cameroon. The verified facts state that once this permission is granted it does not expire.
No arrival registration, entry card, proof of funds, or vaccination requirement is recorded for Romanian travellers on this route in the verified facts.
