FAQ

How long is the Uganda tourist visa valid?
It is a single-entry visa granted for up to 3 months, and the approval authorisation is valid for 90 days from approval, so travel must occur within that window.

Yes. The initial period granted at entry may be extended by 60 days in up to 2 intervals, online or manually at DCIC headquarters and regional offices.

Do I need a yellow fever certificate?
DCIC announced that a yellow fever vaccination certificate is no longer mandatory for entry into Uganda; check the latest official notice before travel.
