The 9th Africa Animal Welfare Conference - Action 2025 will be held at the Hotel Franco, Yaounde-Cameroon, from 28 - 30 July 2025 (Arrival on 27th July and Departure on 31st July).

Cameroon has implemented an e-visa system: E-visa Cameroun - The official portal for visa applications to Cameroon . This is the primary way most travellers obtain their visas. It's crucial to start the application process well in advance of your trip.

The Cameroonian electronic visa is an online authorization launched by the authorities to fast-track visa applications. Before now, visitors had to visit a Cameroonian embassy abroad which took several weeks to get visas, but this is set to change. E visas are processed within 72 hours so the applicant can obtain the visa they need for their trip at short notice.

Electronic visas are issued as short and long-stay visas. Both visas allow you to stay in Cameroon for up to 90 days per visit but with different validities. While the short-stay e visa is valid for 180 days, the long-stay visa is valid for 12 months and can be used more than once.

E-visas may grant visitors access to Cameroon, but the immigration authorities reserve the sole right to reduce the number of days they can stay or completely restrict access to the country for security reasons.
