Visa Policy for Uganda
Uganda’s visa policy is made up of a set of laws, regulations, and requirements that determines what a foreign citizen needs to travel to the country.
There are only around 10 visa-exempt nationalities for Uganda, as the majority of foreign citizens need a visa to travel to the East African country.
However, the majority of passport holders around the world are able to obtain an electronic visa online for Uganda, eliminating the need to obtain a visa in person at an embassy or consulate, or queue at the border to obtain a visa on arrival.
Although a visa on arrival is available for the majority of nationalities, it is only required for citizens of 11 countries who are not eligible to apply for the Uganda e-Visa.
Obtaining the eVisa is a much more efficient option for eligible citizens, as it eliminates the need to wait in long border queues to submit a visa on arrival application.
An approved Ugandan e-Visa permits passport holders from almost every nationality to enter the country for purposes of tourism, family visits, business, medical treatment, or to study.
It may be issued as either a multiple entry or single entry visa online, allowing a stay of 30 days per entry, and with a period of validity of 3, 6, 12, or 24 months depending on the needs of the applicant.
Once the visa online for Uganda is approved, a copy is sent to the traveler’s email address, which must then be printed to present upon arrival at Ugandan border control.
The visa requirements for Uganda state that all visitors, visa-free or visa-required, must travel with a passport with a minimum validity of 6 months upon entry.
The only entry ban for Uganda currently in place is against nationals of Somalia who do not have a valid biometric passport.
