What is Immigration Law?
Immigration Law governs the legal processes and regulations that determine how individuals enter, reside, and become citizens of a country. It encompasses visa applications, residency permits, work authorizations, deportation defense, and citizenship acquisition.

- United Nations Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees (1951): Defines the rights of refugees and the responsibilities of states.
- International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (1966): Protects migrants' civil and political rights globally.
Cameroon's Legal Framework
- Law No. 97/012 of January 10, 1997: Regulates immigration and foreign nationals' entry, stay, and exit in Cameroon.
- Decree No. 2007/255 of September 4, 2007: Defines conditions for acquiring Cameroonian nationality.
