TontonAfriJobs is Africa's first dedicated job board that exclusively lists remote and international jobs verified to accept African applicants. Founded by Enyong Carinton, a full-stack web developer and SEO specialist from Buea, Cameroon, our mission is to eliminate the frustration African professionals face when applying to jobs that are quietly closed to them.
Yes. TontonAfriJobs is completely free for job seekers. You can browse jobs, build CVs, save opportunities, and track applications — all at no cost. We are supported by advertising revenue.
TontonAfriJobs was built by Enyong Carinton — a full-stack web developer, SEO and digital marketing specialist, and the founder of tontonbusiness.net — based in Buea, Cameroon. He designed and coded the entire platform himself.
All 54 African countries. Whether you are in Nigeria, South Africa, Kenya, Cameroon, Ghana, Ethiopia, Egypt, or any other African nation, TontonAfriJobs is built for you.
We use a two-layer system: First, our keyword engine scans each job description for positive signals (like "visa sponsorship available", "open to international applicants", or "worldwide remote") and negative signals (like "must be authorized to work in US/UK" or "no visa sponsorship"). If the text is ambiguous, our AI models (powered by Google Gemini and Groq) analyze the full context to make a determination.
Our scrapers run every 6 hours across multiple global platforms including RemoteOK, Remotive, and Himalayas, ensuring fresh, up-to-date listings.
A visa-sponsored job means the employer is willing to apply for and fund a work visa for the successful candidate, allowing you to legally relocate and work in their country.
No. TontonAfriJobs directs you to the original job posting on the employer's website or the source platform. We verify the eligibility; you apply directly with the employer.
Please use our complaints page to report it. We automatically flag the job, temporarily suspend it, and review it manually within 24 hours to ensure high accuracy on our board.
Yes, completely free. You can build a tailored, AI-generated CV for any job description without entering a credit card or paying anything.
No. Our Quick CV builder does not require registration. However, creating a free account allows you to save your CV profile, educational details, and history, letting you generate tailored resumes without typing your profile data every time.
ATS stands for Applicant Tracking System — software used by employers to automatically screen CVs. Our ATS score analyzes how well your generated CV matches the keywords, core skills, and requirements of the job description.
Yes. After generation, you can preview your CV, tweak instructions, and regenerate it. We recommend downloading the PDF and making personal touch-ups in a word processor.
The CV builder interface is fully translated into English and French. The AI can generate CV output in either language based on the language of the job description.
TontonAfriJobs covers 13 fully funded scholarships open to Africans, including Chevening, the Commonwealth Master's Scholarship, DAAD in Germany, Erasmus Mundus, Fulbright, the Mastercard Foundation Scholars Program, Australia Awards, Japan's MEXT, Turkiye Burslari, the Global Korea Scholarship, Stipendium Hungaricum, the Swedish Institute and Swiss Government Excellence Scholarships. Each guide is researched against the provider's own website.
Use the scholarship finder on the scholarships page. Answer four questions — your country, the level you want to study, your subject area and the funding you need — and it shows only the awards open to you. You can also switch on "Show only what I can apply for now" to hide anything that is closed or has not opened yet.
Erasmus Mundus, Turkiye Burslari, the Global Korea Scholarship, MEXT, Stipendium Hungaricum and the Mastercard Foundation Scholars Program require no work experience. Chevening and DAAD both require at least two years, and Australia Awards requires five. The comparison table at /scholarships/compare shows this for every scholarship side by side.
Turkiye Burslari, the Global Korea Scholarship and the Swiss Government Excellence Scholarships require no English test at all. Australia Awards waives the test for citizens of many African countries including Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, Tanzania and South Africa. This matters because a test fee is often the first real cost an applicant faces.
Yes. The Mastercard Foundation Scholars Program, MEXT, Turkiye Burslari and the Global Korea Scholarship all fund undergraduate study. Most major scholarships — Chevening, Commonwealth, DAAD, Fulbright — require a degree you already hold, so these four are the realistic options if you have just finished secondary school.
Because the programme genuinely is closed there, and we would rather tell you than let you assume. For example, Chevening and the Commonwealth Master's Scholarship are closed for Cameroon and Sudan, because UK Government rules from 26 March 2026 stopped accepting Student visa applications from those nationals. Those pages explain the reason and, where one exists, point to an alternative.
Every scholarship page shows the date its details were last checked against the official source, and links to the official page for each requirement. Deadlines change, so always confirm on the provider's website before you rely on a date. Automated checks run regularly to flag guidance that has gone stale or official links that have broken.
No. Every scholarship guide is free, and none of these scholarships charge an application fee. TontonAfriJobs never applies on your behalf and no agent can improve your chances. If anyone asks you to pay to apply for Chevening, DAAD, Fulbright or any award listed here, it is a scam.
The visa guides cover 52 destination countries across Europe, North America, Asia, the Gulf and Oceania. For each country they list the main routes — work, study, job-seeker and family — with the real application fees, official processing times, the documents required, and a direct link to the government page that states each rule.
No. Every visa route in these guides is one you apply for yourself on an official government website, and the guide links straight to it. Agents charge for information that governments publish free. There are cases where a licensed immigration lawyer genuinely helps, particularly with complex or previously refused applications, but that is different from paying someone to fill in a form you can fill in yourself.
A visa-sponsored job means the employer is licensed to hire from abroad and handles the legal work of bringing you into the country — you relocate and usually gain a route toward permanent residence. A remote job means you work from your own country for a foreign employer, earning in foreign currency without needing a visa at all. Both are listed separately on TontonAfriJobs because from Africa they are the two routes that reliably lead somewhere.
Use the visa cost calculator. It adds up the application fee, health surcharge where one applies, and the other charges for your chosen country and route, so you see the real total rather than only the headline fee. Government fees change, so each guide shows the date it was last checked.
The visa-free section lets you pick your African country and see which destinations you can enter without arranging a visa in advance, including visa-on-arrival and e-visa options. Entry rules change frequently, so always confirm with the destination's official immigration authority before booking travel.
TontonAfriJobs provides a CV builder that tailors your CV to a specific job and country, a cover letter builder, a visa cost calculator, and a scholarship eligibility matcher. All of them are free, with no signup required to try them and no payment at any stage.
No. You can build a CV or cover letter as a guest and download it. Creating a free account simply lets you save your work, keep multiple versions, save jobs and track the applications you have sent.
Because a CV that mirrors the language of a specific job description performs better, both with human recruiters and with the automated systems that filter applications before a person sees them. The builder adjusts wording and emphasis for the role and the country you are applying to, rather than producing one generic document.
Yes. The CV and cover letter are yours to download and use anywhere, for any application. There is no watermark, no branding and no restriction.
Never, for anything. TontonAfriJobs has no agents, no representatives and no partners collecting fees on its behalf. Nobody from this platform will contact you asking for payment to process an application, secure a visa, release a scholarship or guarantee a job. Anyone who does is committing fraud.
The clearest sign is a request for money — a processing fee, a visa fee paid to an individual, a "guaranteed placement" payment, or a training fee. Real employers do not charge you to be hired, and no legitimate scholarship charges an application fee. Other warning signs are an offer without an interview, pressure to decide immediately, a personal email address instead of a company domain, and requests for your bank details or identity documents early on.
No. Visas are decided by governments and scholarships by their awarding bodies. No agent, consultant or website has influence over either decision, and anyone promising a guaranteed outcome is lying. Chevening, DAAD, Fulbright and every other award listed here select candidates through their own published process.
Report it through the complaints page. Listings are aggregated from external sources and checked automatically, so a bad one can slip through. Reports are read and acted on, and a listing found to be fraudulent is removed.
No. Your data is never sold or rented. The site is funded by advertising and affiliate links, neither of which involves passing your details to anyone. The full detail is in the privacy policy.
Yes. Your personal information is encrypted at rest and transmitted securely using SSL. We never sell your personal data to third parties. Please review our Privacy Policy for more details.
Go to Dashboard → Account Settings → Delete Account. This permanently deletes your user account, CV history, saved applications, and tracking details.
Yes. You can browse all verified jobs and use the Quick CV builder as a guest without registering. An account simply unlocks advanced features like alerts and tracking.
