Visa policy of Uganda

Visa exemption

Citizens of the following countries can visit Uganda without a visa for up to 3 months:[3][4]

Holders of diplomatic or service passports issued to nationals of Italy and Namibia do not require a visa for 3 months.

e-Visa

Uganda began issuing electronic visas (e-Visa) on 1 July 2016.[5][6] Passengers who have been issued an e-visa must travel with a printed e-visa confirmation.[4]

Visa on arrival

Citizens of all other countries except Somalia may obtain a visa for Uganda on arrival.[4] As of 22 July 2016, the price is US $50.[7][8] Electronic visas are expected to replace the visa on arrival facility. As a temporary measure, passengers who have not applied for an e-visa on line, will still be able to apply for their e-visa on arrival in Uganda. However, facilities will be very limited and passengers may experience delays.[9]
Holders of consular, diplomatic, official, service or special passports of any country can obtain a visa on arrival for 3 months.

East African Tourist Visa

The 90-day East African Tourist Visa is also available on arrival, which is valid for Uganda, Kenya, and Rwanda[8] if first used in the country that issued the visa. The fee for this visa is $100.

Entry Refusal

Entry and transit is refused to nationals of  Somalia if not holding a biometric passport, even if not leaving the aircraft and proceeding by the same flight.
