Moving your employees to Cameroon
Cameroon is a country located in Central Africa, known for its diverse cultures and rich biodiversity. The country has a population of over 26 million people, and its economy is primarily based on agriculture, forestry, and mining. With a GDP of over $40 billion, Cameroon is considered one of the most diversified economies in Africa.
Cameroon is politically stable, and the government has been working towards creating a favorable environment for foreign investment. The country is also a member of several international organizations, such as the United Nations, the African Union, and the Commonwealth.
Cameroon has two official languages, French and English, and over 230 other languages are spoken across the country. This makes it a multicultural and multilingual country, which can be advantageous for businesses that want to expand their operations in Africa.
There are several reasons why international businesses may want to expand their operations to Cameroon. The country has a strategic location in Africa, with easy access to other Central African countries. Cameroon’s membership in several international organizations also provides an excellent opportunity for businesses to expand their reach beyond Africa.
The country has a skilled and educated workforce, which can be beneficial for businesses that require a highly skilled labor force. Cameroon also has several natural resources, including timber, minerals, and oil, which can provide opportunities for businesses in the extractive industries.

When applying for a temporary entry visa, an individual must present a valid passport, a certificate of accommodation, and payment of XAF60,000.
Cameroon does not have a specific quota system for the issuance of visas. Tourist visas are granted to foreign nationals who intend to travel in Cameroon. They are issued by diplomatic embassies or Cameroon consulates abroad. Tourist visas are valid for 30 days, are not renewable, and permit an unlimited number of entries into the country.
Business visas are granted to foreign nationals coming to Cameroon to take up technical, industrial, or commercial positions. They are valid for one year, are non-renewable, and permit multiple entries into the country.
Work permits are valid for two years and are renewable for an unlimited number of times; the renewed permit is valid for two years. Expatriates may obtain work permits in Cameroon. Following the submission of the necessary documentation, work permits are processed in approximately four to six weeks.
