Uganda e-Visa

If you wish to visit Uganda, you'll need a visa, whatever the reason or duration of your stay. To obtain a visa, you need to make an online application on the website of a visa agency approved by the Ugandan authorities.

For some years now, Ugandan consular authorities have no longer been issuing visas in the form of stickers to be affixed to passports when embarking for Uganda.

All procedures are now carried out online, and obtaining an e-visa is now the only way to enter Uganda. You can access an electronic visa application form on Visamundi to obtain your e-visa for Uganda.

How do I get an e-visa for Uganda?

All you have to do is send us a good quality scanned color copy of the first page of your passport which will contain all your personal information (passport number, date of birth, address, first and last name), as well as a good-quality color scan of a passport-size photo in force in your country of residence.

You will also need to scan your international vaccination booklet in such a way that it is perfectly legible to justify a yellow fever vaccination, mandatory for travel to Uganda.

Finally, you will need to provide a flight confirmation to and from Uganda to certify that you will not be staying in Uganda for longer than the period originally specified when your e-visa for Uganda was issued.

You will then be asked to fill in the application form on our website, providing all the information requested by the Ugandan authorities, such as the reason for your trip to Uganda and the type of visa you are planning, your dates of arrival and departure, the name, address and telephone number of the hotel where you will be staying, a list of the countries you have visited in the last 5 years, and your arrival airport in Uganda.

Once the request form completed, you can proceed with the payment of consular fees required to finalize your application by secure bank transfer.

After checking your file, the Ugandan authorities will issue your e-visa in accordance with your application. You will then receive your e-visa for Uganda by email to the address given on your application form. You can print it out to make sure you have it with you when you arrive in Uganda.
