DiasporaCameroonians with dual nationality
Cameroonians who kept or regained Cameroonian nationality can buy land like any citizen. Keep your Cameroonian ID or passport valid — it makes every step easier.
Foreign nationals
Non-citizens can generally acquire property in Cameroon, but land without a registered title often requires ministerial authorisation. Always work through a notary and verify the title at the land registry before paying.
Prefer titled land
A registered land title (titre foncier) is the strongest protection. Untitled customary land is cheaper but much riskier, especially from abroad.
Get independent verification
Use a verified surveyor and lawyer who work for you — not for the seller — to confirm boundaries, ownership and any disputes.
