Cameroon Visa Requirements for Central African Republic Citizens

Freedom of movement

Central African Republic citizens enjoy freedom of movement in Cameroon — no visa is needed and there is no fixed limit on the length of stay.

“La circulation des ressortissants des États membres de la CEMAC est libre sur l'ensemble de l'espace communautaire à partir du 1er Janvier 2014, sous réserve de la présentation d'une Carte Nationale d'Identité ou d'un Passeport délivré par un État membre et en cours de validité.”
