eVisa is mandatory — no visa on arrival for Cameroon
Cameroon is not on Indonesia's visa-on-arrival list. You must get an eVisa before you travel. Arriving without one means you'll be denied entry and sent back.
Keep digital copies of everything
Save your eVisa PDF, passport photo, and travel insurance on your phone and email. If you lose your passport, these make replacement much faster.
