Moroccan passport holders need an eVisa to travel to Cameroon. The online application is straightforward — you'll receive a PDF by email, which you print and show at the airport. As of 2026, this is the only way to get a visa for tourism or business.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| eVisa application Apply before departure | Apply for a Cameroon eVisa at the official portal before you fly. Processing takes 3–5 business days, and you need a digital passport photo and proof of yellow fever vaccination. Print the approval letter and carry it with your passport.Apply for eVisa | Required |
| Valid passport Must cover entire stay | Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your intended departure date from Cameroon. Airlines check this at check-in, and immigration officers enforce it strictly. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure | Immigration officers routinely ask for a confirmed onward or return ticket. Have a printed copy or a digital version on your phone ready to show. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Carry a hotel reservation confirmation or a letter of invitation from your host in Cameroon. Officers may ask for this during the visa application or at the border. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Bank statement or cash | Have a recent bank statement or enough cash (around 100,000 XAF per week) to cover your stay. Immigration may ask to see proof of sufficient funds. | Recommended |
Yellow fever vaccine is mandatory
You must show proof of yellow fever vaccination (yellow card) on arrival. Without it, you may be denied entry or forced to get vaccinated at the airport — which costs time and money.
eVisa is the only option
There is no visa on arrival or visa-free entry for Moroccan passport holders. Apply for the eVisa online before you travel. Print the approval — digital copies on your phone are not always accepted.
