What is a Uganda e-Visa?

What are the requirements?

To apply online for a Uganda eVisa, you need to meet some basic requirements. Even so, there is nothing out of the ordinary, and chances are that you already have part of these documents. You should also know that there are three types of visas, and while the requirements are pretty much the same, some of them may ask for additional documents. Here is what you need:

• Passport – all applicants must be passport holders, and the document must maintain its validity for at least another 6 months from the date of arrival in Uganda.

• A copy of the passport – the information page is what matters the most.

• A recent passport-sized photo.

• Vaccination certificate for Yellow Fever – in case you do not have this document once you arrive in Uganda, you may be subjected to vaccination on arrival, and some possible quarantine measures may be taken. It is best if you check this off the list before you leave.

The requirements above apply for the Uganda Tourist e-visa. If you want to apply for a Uganda Transit e-visa, you also need a letter in which you mention the reason for transit and the final destination of your trip. The East Africa Tourist Visa requires all of the bullet points above plus a travel itinerary and a return flight ticket.

What are the processing times and fees?
