Cameroon has no direct flight from the UAE, so most travelers connect through Addis Ababa, Istanbul, or Paris before the final leg into Douala or Yaoundé. UAE passport holders arrange the entry permit online before the trip, uploading a passport scan and travel details rather than getting anything issued cold at the airport.
Once approved, the permit is checked against the flight arrival rather than requiring anything further to complete once you've landed, which keeps the airport process itself relatively short despite the paperwork happening upfront.
