To enter Uganda, everyone must have a passport with at least six months remaining from the date of entry. Almost all visitors will require a visa to enter Uganda, which can be processed online, beforehand. A visa can only be obtained on arrival if it has been preapproved. To apply for a visa online, visit www.visas.immigration.go.ug.
The following nationalities do not require a visa to enter Uganda: Cyprus, Malta, Angola, Barbuda, Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Burundi, Comoros, Eritrea, Fiji, Gambia, Ghana, Grenada, Jamaica, Kenya, Lesotho, Madagascar, Malawi, Mauritius, Rwanda, Seychelles, Sierra Leone, Singapore, Solomon Islands, St Vincent and The Grenadines, Tanzania, Tonga, Swaziland, Vanuatu, Zambia and Zimbabwe.
If you are also visiting other countries in Africa, you can obtain an East African Tourist Visa which allows you multiple entries into Uganda, Kenya and Rwanda – this is a much cheaper and simpler way than buying them separately. A single-entry visa costs $50, and an East African tourist e-visa costs $100.
If you are arriving from an endemic area, you will also need to provide a Yellow Fever vaccination certificate, before being allowed to enter Uganda.
