The new procedure is expected to speed up Visa processing with the introduction of eVisa.

Visitors with valid passports and travel documents shall be able to apply for an eVisa online.

They shall also be required to pay online and receive their response online.

The Senate will then receive the bill after NA adoption before promulgation into law by President Paul Biya.
