Family Regrouping Visa (Visa de Regroupement Familial)

The Family Regrouping Visa (Visa de Regroupement Familial) is a long-stay classification intended for foreign nationals who wish to join immediate family members—such as a spouse or dependent children—who are already legally settled and residing in Cameroon. This visa is designed to facilitate the reunification of families, allowing them to live together in the country for an extended period. It serves as a vital legal pathway for maintaining family unity for those whose relatives have established a permanent or long-term presence in the Cameroonian territory.

To be eligible for this visa, the applicant must provide documented proof of their familial relationship, such as marriage certificates or birth certificates, alongside proof of the inviting family member's legal status in Cameroon. The application fee for this visa is USD 182. A mandatory requirement for the approval of this visa is the provision of valid health insurance, ensuring that the applicant has access to medical coverage while residing in the country. Applicants must also demonstrate that they have the necessary financial support to sustain themselves during their stay, as part of the broader requirements to ensure that the family unit can be adequately maintained.
