Information about the eVisa for Uganda

The eVisa for Uganda is a mandatory electronic travel authorization for foreigners with a passport of any of the selected countries. It was introduced by the Government of Uganda to reduce unnecessary time at the immigration offices and make it easier to cross the border.

Depending on your need, you can apply for a Single Entry visa that is valid for 30 consecutive days or the Transit Visa that is valid for 24 hours. In case you want multiple entries, you can choose between a visa valid for up to 12 or 24 months.

You can also apply for the Uganda East Africa Tourist Visa which is valid for up to 90 days. It allows you multiple entries travelling within Rwanda and Kenya only if you arrive and depart from Uganda.

Requirements for the eVisa for Uganda

Before applying, prepare the following information:

• A passport valid for at least 6 months from the date of your arrival
• An up-to-date passport size color photo
• An email address
• Certificate of Yellow Fever vaccination
• A valid debit or credit card
• Travel itinerary
• A Letter explaining why you are transiting and mention the destination country (Only for Transit)
