What is the cost of a work permit in Cameroon?

According to Section 22 of Law No. 2022/020 of 27 December 2022, laying down the finance law of the Republic of Cameroon for the 2023 financial year (which introduced payment for a work visa in Cameroon), the fee to be paid is equivalent to two months’ worth of wages and gross salaries for non-African workers and one month’s worth of wages and gross salaries with a 50% reduction for African workers.

However, the Ministry of Employment and Vocational Training sets the fees, according to the employment contract.
