To confirm: I got my visa today in Yaounde, Cameroon. 1 day turnaround, very easy visa application, but expensive (however much cheaper than DHL + visa service).
I gave them my invititation letter but I'm not sure if it was necessary.
150,000cfa for a 2 month single entry visa, with receipt.
2 photos.
1 simple application (not like the double 3 page monster at the Dakar embassy).
Picked up the visa 9am next day.
No hassle, no fuss about stamps, no bother about not being a Cameroonian resident. Almost scary how easy it was compared to other embassies I've tried (this is the 5th).
Prior I had tried in Abuja, Nigeria. Residency required, and the 'DGM' stamp on the official invite letter. They recommended I get it in Brazzaville (' it's very easy!' they say) but no way to verify if that's true or just a 'helpful' embassy clerk.
Whether it flies at the DRC border, I'll know before the end of the month and will report back.
