Where a Cameroon Passport Can Go Visa-Free
A Cameroonian passport gives real visa-free, visa-on-arrival and e-Visa access to a solid range of destinations outside Africa — from Singapore and the Philippines to several Caribbean and Pacific nations. Here is exactly what is genuine and what you need to prepare before travelling.
Before you book: visa policies change often and can depend on your specific passport, purpose of travel and length of stay. Always confirm on the destination's official source link below — shown next to every entry — before purchasing tickets.
Caribbean
Dominica
Up to 6 months
What you still need before you travel:
- Passport valid for at least 6 months from your date of entry.
- A valid return ticket confirming you'll leave Dominica.
- Proof of sufficient funds for your stay and a local address (a hotel booking is enough).
- Complete Dominica's online Embarkation/Disembarkation (ED) Card at edcard.dominica.gov.dm within 3 days of travel — you'll get a confirmation QR code by email to show alongside your passport on arrival.
Barbados
Up to 90 days
What you still need before you travel:
- Passport valid for the full length of your trip.
- A return or onward ticket showing you'll leave before your 90 days are up.
- Complete the free online Barbados Immigration & Customs (ED) Card at travelform.gov.bb no more than 72 hours before you arrive — save the confirmation QR code to show at the airport with your passport.
Grenada
Up to 3 months
What you still need before you travel:
- Passport valid for at least 3 months beyond your arrival date.
- Vaccination certificates for Hepatitis A, Polio, Tetanus, Typhoid and Yellow Fever may be requested at the border — carry your WHO Yellow Card just in case.

A departing Airport Service Charge applies to all visitors on exit.
Saint Lucia
Up to 6 weeks
What you still need before you travel:
- Passport valid for your full stay.
- Complete the Saint Lucia Electronic Immigration Form at travelslu.govt.lc before boarding your flight — you'll receive a QR code by email to show alongside your passport on arrival.

- Because granting the visa on arrival is at the discretion of the immigration officer on duty, arranging your visa in advance through a Saint Lucia diplomatic mission removes any uncertainty at the airport.
- If you need longer than 6 weeks, apply for an extension at the main Immigration office in Castries before your time runs out.
