How can I get a residence permit in Cameroon?

If you are in Cameroon, you should apply to the local immigration office, which is about 350,000 CFA francs (this is the first application). The general ID card is valid for two years. If you apply for the second time, it will be relatively cheaper. Generally, you don't need any documents, but you should bring your passport and a copy of it. In addition, if you want to apply for a long-term identity card, you have to change it three times before you can apply for a 10 year identity card.
