Visa exemption
Citizens of the following 33 countries can visit Uganda without a visa for up to 3 months:[3]
1 — only listed by IATA.
e-Visa
Uganda began issuing electronic visas (e-Visa) on 1 July 2016.[4][5] Passengers who have been issued an e-visa must travel with a printed e-visa confirmation.[3]
Visa on arrival
Citizens of all other countries may obtain a visa for Uganda on arrival.[6] As of 22 July 2016, the price is US $50.[7][8] Electronic visas are expected to replace the visa on arrival facility. As a temporary measure, passengers who have not applied for an e-visa on line, will still be able to apply for their e-visa on arrival in Uganda. However, facilities will be very limited and passengers may experience delays.[9]
East African Tourist Visa
The 90-day East African Tourist Visa is also available on arrival, which is valid for Uganda, Kenya, and Rwanda[8] if first used in the country that issued the visa. The fee for this visa is $100
