A brief stop in Douala turned into a paperwork question. Not every layover requires special entry documents, but stepping outside the terminal during a connection in Cameroon does. That's exactly what the Cameroon Transit eVisa exists for.
What was needed:
- A scanned passport bio-page
- Yellow fever vaccination proof
- Entry authorisation for the next destination
- An onward flight or boarding ticket
Applying meant filling the online form, selecting the transit category, uploading documents, and paying by card. Confirmation arrived by email soon after. One thing worth remembering: overstaying the approved transit period can lead to fines or deportation, and the visa itself offers no option for renewal once granted.
