Common Questions About the Uganda eVisa
Review the most frequently searched Uganda eVisa questions before starting your application.
A Uganda eVisa is an electronic visa application for travel to Uganda. Uganda Visa provides private application assistance and is not affiliated with any government or embassy. Immigration decides visa applications.
We offer Tourist Visa for a single tourist visit, East Africa Tourist Visa for Uganda, Kenya and Rwanda, and Multiple Visa for repeated visits to Uganda. Choose the category matching your travel plans.
Tourist Visa is USD 99. East Africa Tourist Visa is USD 199. Multiple Visa is USD 199 for 6 or 12 months, or USD 299 for 24 months. The selected total is shown before you send your application.
Tourist applicants need a passport biodata page, recent photograph and return ticket. East Africa applicants also need a detailed itinerary. Multiple Visa applicants need police clearance, two Uganda referee letters, a cover letter and evidence of Uganda entries and exits during the last year.
A Uganda immigration notice dated 2 October 2026 says the certificate is no longer mandatory for entry. Some older category pages still list it. Confirm the current portal instructions and requirements for other destinations.
It covers tourism in Uganda, Kenya and Rwanda only. The issuing country must be your first entry. Uganda lists 90 days, no renewal, and expiry on leaving the three-country bloc. Confirm availability with the intended issuing authority.
No approval is guaranteed. Uganda immigration warns there is no additional government fee for faster visa treatment. Processing depends on the application and any further checks.
Use the official Uganda immigration portal’s status facility. An inquiry or reference created by this website is separate from a government visa application.
Do not assume a child is covered by a parent’s passport or application. Each visa-prone traveller needs the appropriate individual application and documents; check the official requirements for the child.
Uganda immigration publishes ordinary-passport exemptions separately from diplomatic and official arrangements. Check the current exemption list and your travel document before applying.
