Travora
/ Cyprus
Eastern Mediterranean island, sun year-round
Cyprus blends golden beaches, ancient ruins and Europe's last divided capital. The island of the goddess Aphrodite enjoys over 300 days of sun a year. An EU member but not yet in the Schengen area in 2026, it issues its own national visa to Cameroonian passport holders, more accessible than a full Schengen visa.

Required documents
- Passport valid 3 months beyond planned departure
- Cypriot visa application form
- Passport photos and round-trip flight booking
- Hotel reservation and proof of funds
- Travel insurance covering the stay
Good to know
