Uganda eVisa – Convenient Entry Process for International Travelers

Uganda offers an efficient electronic visa (eVisa) system to facilitate travel for foreign nationals visiting the country. This digital process eliminates the need to visit embassies or consulates, allowing applicants to complete the entire procedure online before arrival. Whether travelers are visiting for tourism, family visits, attending conferences, or short-term business, the system provides a practical solution for pre-approved entry clearance.

The Uganda eVisa is available in several categories, including the single-entry visa for general tourism or short business trips, the multiple-entry visa for frequent visitors, and the East Africa Tourist Visa, which permits travel across Uganda, Kenya, and Rwanda on a single visa. The standard single-entry visa typically allows stays of up to 45 days, while the multiple-entry visa can be issued with a validity of six months, one year, or two years, depending on the traveler’s profile and documentation.

The application process involves filling out a digital form, uploading a scanned copy of the passport bio page and a passport-size photo, and paying the visa fee online. In some cases, supporting documents such as hotel bookings, travel itineraries, or invitation letters may also be requested. Once approved, the eVisa is delivered by email and must be printed and presented upon arrival at a Ugandan port of entry.

Processing time usually ranges between 3 to 5 working days, although this may vary depending on the volume of applications. Travelers are advised to submit their application several days in advance of their trip to ensure timely approval and a smooth arrival experience.
