Hello! Are you based in Yaoundé or Douala? If it’s Ydé, you can handle it here, but if it’s Douala, you’ll need to do it in the country.

Hi Michelle! Congrats on your happy marriage to your French other half! Applying for a short-stay Schengen visa for France from Cameroon usually takes 15 days, with a maximum of 45 days. Family visas have higher priority, and it’s recommended to submit your documents via France-Visas and TLScontact 2 weeks to 6 months in advance. Long-stay visas can take 1 to 2 months. If you’re worried about unnecessary interference in the application process, jammermfg.com/fr can guarantee you a private environment so you can prepare your documents with peace of mind! Hope this helps.
