How to do it

Be wary of anyone selling visa appointments: it is a scam. Only the official channels (France-Visas, TLScontact, Campus France) are valid.

  1. 1Find your application centre: it depends on your region of residence in Cameroon, not on the city where your passport was issued.
  2. 2Book only through the official link: after the France-Visas form, you are redirected to the TLScontact website. Also follow the appointment instructions Campus France sends to your Études en France account.
  3. 3Only request your appointment once your file is complete: Campus France Cameroun states that each student is entitled to only one visa appointment.
  4. 4If no slot is available, try again later: new slots are added every day.
  5. 5Write down the date, time, centre address and instructions from the confirmation message.

What you need

  • Login details for your France-Visas application
  • Login details for your Études en France account

Tips

  • Douala handles files from the Littoral, West, North-West and South-West regions and the Océan and Nyong-et-Kéllé departments. Yaoundé handles the other regions. The Garoua centre comes under the embassy in Yaoundé.
  • Applications peak before the summer and winter school holidays: getting an appointment can then take several weeks. Book as soon as your file is ready.
  • No middleman can get you an appointment faster: booking is free.
