Cameroon is scheduled to hold presidential elections on 12 October. Monitor local media and avoid political rallies and crowded areas near polling stations. We continue to advise exercise a high degree of caution in Cameroon overall due to the threat of violent crime and risk of civil unrest. Higher levels apply in some areas. You must apply and pay for your visa through the Cameroon Government’s E-visa system prior to travel (see ‘Travel’).
