The 60-second version

Cameroon exit needs employer IRPP withholding certificate and DGI compliance letter. I export CNPS statements, close XAF/EUR account, wire to NRE, and map RNOR for retained holdings.

DGI withholding proof before closing mobile-money float

Cameroon taxes residents on worldwide income — I obtain employer IRPP reconciliation and confirm DGI NIU has no open assessments before departure.

Work permit cancel through employer; retain immigration exit documentation for India ITR overlap year.

CNPS member statement export even if lump-sum not yet paid — needed for Form 67 and benefit claims.
