Summary
  • UK visas are mandatory for Cameroonian citizens, and must be obtained before travel.
  • Biometric appointments must be attended in Yaoundé — no exceptions.
  • Proof of funds and evidence that you’ll return home are the top reasons for approval or refusal.

Planning a visit to the United Kingdom from Cameroon? Whether you're attending a wedding, visiting family, or exploring British history, you must obtain a UK Standard Visitor Visa before you travel.

With iVisa, you get step-by-step guidance, professional document checks, and help schedule your appointment — all in one place.
