Embassy of Cameroon in Prague

Cameroon does not keep an embassy in Prague. The mission accredited to the Czech Republic is at 115127 Moscow, Ul. Bolshaya Ordynka 35 — see it on the map (55.73713, 37.62457). There is no consulate of Cameroon inside the Czech Republic, so everything goes through that post.

The switchboard is open 09.30 – 12.30 13.00 – 16.30 /Mo-Fri/ Winter; 09.30 – 12.30 13.30 – 17.00 /Mo-Fri/ Summer. Consular hours are usually shorter than the switchboard hours. Passport, visa and civil-status matters are almost always handled by appointment, so call 007495-951 33 03 or e-mail ambacamoscow@yahoo.fr before you travel across the city. Missions close on Czech public holidays as well as on their own national day — for Cameroon that is May 20 – Proclamation of the United Republic Day /1972/.

In the Czech Republic a legally binding marriage is performed by a Czech registry office (matrika) or by a church authorised by the Czech state — not by a foreign embassy. A small number of countries allow a consular marriage between two of their own citizens; whether Cameroon is one of them is a question only its consular section can answer, so call 007495-951 33 03 or e-mail ambacamoscow@yahoo.fr. What the mission does do in almost every case is issue or authenticate the paperwork the Czech registry office asks a foreigner for. The whole procedure, venue by venue, is in our guide to the legal requirements for getting married in the Czech Republic.

The Czech registry office asks a foreign national for a valid passport, a full birth certificate (the short version is not accepted), a certificate of no impediment — the certificate of legal capacity to marry, which is the document your own authorities or your embassy issue — an affidavit of marital status sworn before a notary, and, if you were married before, the divorce decree or the death certificate of your late spouse. Every foreign document has to be translated into Czech by a court-appointed translator and carry an apostille or consular legalisation. Start three to six months ahead: verification and appointment slots, not the ceremony, are what take the time. To ask which of these papers Cameroon issues for its citizens, call 007495-951 33 03 or e-mail ambacamoscow@yahoo.fr. Our step-by-step marriage guide lists the fees and the order to do things in.

הביאו צלם משלכם — לא השגרירות ולא לשכת הרישום האזרחי הצ'כית מספקות צלם, ובשני המקרים תקבלו חלון זמן קצר ומתוזמן בקפדנות בחדר קטן, ולכן צלם שכבר עבד בסביבה כזו שווה יותר מעדשה גדולה. שני דגשים מעשיים: נציגות דיפלומטית היא מבנה בבקרת אבטחה, ולכן כדאי לשאול מראש את המחלקה הקונסולרית אם צלם רשאי להיכנס ואם יש לרשום את שמו ואת תעודת הזהות שלו בכניסה; ואם הטקס עצמו מתקיים בלשכת רישום אזרחי צ'כית, שאלו את הmatrika היכן הצלם רשאי לעמוד. אנו מנהלים רשימה של צלמים הפועלים בפראג ומיקומי הצילום הטובים ביותר, מדריך לצילום הצעות נישואין בפראג לרגע שלפני הניירת, ומדריך לצילום בעיר לדיוקנאות שתרצו אחר כך על גשר קארל או בלטנה.

No. Visas and residence permits for the Czech Republic are issued by Czech embassies and consulates abroad and by the Czech Ministry of the Interior — never by another country’s mission in Prague. The mission of Cameroon works the other way round: it serves citizens of Cameroon living in or visiting the Czech Republic, and issues visas and documents for Cameroon to everyone else. If you are moving here rather than visiting, our guide to living in the Czech Republic covers permits, insurance and costs.

Report the loss or theft to the Czech police first and keep the report — the consular section will ask for it before issuing anything. Then contact the mission: call 007495-951 33 03 or e-mail ambacamoscow@yahoo.fr. Ask for an emergency travel document, which is normally issued for a single journey home. Outside office hours many missions run an emergency duty line; the switchboard message or the website usually gives it, so note the number down before you need it.

No. Cameroon runs a single office for the whole Czech Republic — the one listed on this page. Other countries do keep honorary consulates in Brno, Ostrava or Plzeň; you can check any of them in the full directory of missions.

The number already carries its own international prefix: dial +74959513303. Note that this is not a Czech number, so it is not a local call from Prague. Every number on this page is a tap-to-call link.

Usually yes, but only in one direction. A mission certifies signatures and copies for its own citizens and legalises documents issued in its own country. A Czech document that you need to use in Cameroon normally has to be apostilled by the Czech authorities first — the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for administrative documents, the Ministry of Justice for court and notarial ones — and only then presented to the consular section. Which route your particular paper takes depends on whether both countries are in the Hague Apostille Convention, so call 007495-951 33 03 or e-mail ambacamoscow@yahoo.fr and describe the document before you pay for anything.
