Corporate Guide

If there is no requirement to have a local director or shareholder in Cameroon, what is the process of obtaining a work permit for foreign employees?

To obtain a work permit, the employer shall apply for the endorsement of the employment contract by the Minister of Employment and Vocational Training prior to its commencement. The contract is deemed to have been endorsed if the minister fails to give a response within the two months after the reception of the application (Article 27(2) and (3) of the Labour Code).

This endorsed contract consists of a work permit for a foreign employee.
