What do I need to know before moving to Cameroon?
When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Cameroon, they said...
"Cameroon is a diverse country with a rich culture and a variety of languages spoken. It is important to research the local customs and laws before moving to Cameroon. Expats should also be aware of the cost of living, which can be higher than in other African countries. Additionally, it is important to obtain the necessary visas and permits before arriving in Cameroon. Expats should also be aware of the security situation in the country, as there have been reports of crime and civil unrest in some areas. Finally, it is important to research the healthcare system in Cameroon, as it may not be up to the same standards as in other countries," commented one expat who made the move to Cameroon.
