You can obtain visas either via the embassy/high commission or using the e-Visa system (https://visas.immigration.go.ug/).

You can apply through the e-Visa system (www.visas.immigration.go.ug).

Working days:

Allow 2-3 working days for e-visa processing.

Sufficient funds:

Travellers should have sufficient funds to cover their stay in Uganda, but proving this should only be necessary if you arrive with a one-way ticket, as officials may need reassurance that you can afford to leave the country when it’s time to go home.

Extension of stay:

If you wish to extend your stay, you can do this online on the Immigration portal (https://visas.immigration.go.ug/) before your current visa expires. If you overstay your visa, you will be charged US$100 per day.

Entry with pets:

Cats and dogs must have a certificate of good health from a registered veterinarian in the area of origin, which must be issued, signed and stamped no earlier than 10 days before arrival in Uganda. You will also need a certificate confirming the animal is free of rabies and has been inoculated as necessary.

Dogs require vaccinations against distemper, parvo-virus, rabies, hepatitis and leptospirosos, not less than 30 days prior to arrival.

Cats should be vaccinated against rabies and feline entritis, not less than 30 days prior to arrival.
