Visas

Generally, foreign nationals travelling to Uganda require entry visas. However, nationals from some countries are visa exempt. (Check if your country is visa-exempt at the Immigration Department link).

All visa applications and payments are done online. Successful/approved applicants can get their visas issued at the Consulate or at the points of entry.

It is the responsibility of each applicant to verify visa particulars before submitting their documents. Applicants are advised to submit completed applications well in advance of the proposed travel date. 

Visas issued are either for single-entry (3 months validity) or multiple-entry (valid for six, twelve or twenty four months). Application requirements and charges for visas vary depending on the validity period. For application form, visa requirements and charges, please go to: https://visas.immigration.go.ug/.
