Why this verdict
Maltese citizens are encoded through Cameroon's official eVisa / online visa route because this launched ordinary passport is not listed in the checked ordinary-passport entry-visa-exempt nationalities. Diplomatic, service, special-passport and official-duty fee exemptions are not treated as ordinary-tourist visa-free access. This destination-wave matrix record is intentionally conservative: ordinary passport, short tourism/visitor travel only. Work, study, residence, diplomatic/service passports, official duty, non-tourist visits, route-specific visa-on-arrival authorisations, health rules, carrier checks, border discretion and the live eVisa flow can change the practical answer. Reconfirm with evisacam, Cameroon immigration or a Cameroonian mission before booking.
Conditional rules
- Traveller is a Nigerian ordinary-passport holder Visa-free
The Embassy of Cameroon in Egypt lists Nigerian nationals as exempt from the entry-visa requirement. The checked source does not publish a universal stay cap for that exemption.
- Traveller needs express processing or a visa valid for more than six months eVisa
The official fee page lists express processing at XAF 150,000 and visas valid for more than six months at XAF 200,000.
- Work, study, residence, diplomatic/service passport, official duty or other non-tourist purpose Visa required
This row is for ordinary-passport short visits only. Use the appropriate Cameroonian mission, evisacam or government route for non-tourist or special-document travel.
- Passport or travel document is not valid for at least six months Visa required
The checked Cameroonian mission pages describe a six-month passport/document validity requirement for entry or visa application.
- Transit through Cameroon Conditional
Up to 5 days. The Embassy of Cameroon in Egypt lists a transit visa of less than five days as free of charge and a transit visa of more than four days as fee-bearing. Treat transit as route-specific, not as a universal no-document waiver.
- Route-specific authorisation for visa on arrival Conditional
The checked Embassy of Cameroon in Egypt page mentions limited prior-approved visa-on-arrival authorisations for some accredited-country or distant-city applicants. This is not encoded as a general tourist route.
