Travelers interested in a tourist or business visa need their passport, passport photo, a visa application form, proof of travel, a letter of invitation, and a business letter in order to obtain their visa.

Items needed can change based on changes in government regulation. Check with a travel document specialist before your trip.

The cost of a visa depends on how long you plan to stay in Uganda. Costs start at $100.

Single entry e-visas start at around $100. An East African Tourist e-visa starts at $100. If you’re planning multiple entries into Uganda with an e-visa, pricing ranges from $100 to over $200, depending on length of visa and similar factors.

Please note, the Ugandan government can change fee amounts at any time. Fees do not include processing, service, consular, postage or other charges.

Proof of yellow fever vaccination is required for all travelers to Uganda. Hepatitis A, typhoid and cholera may be recommended for your trip. See our Uganda destination advice page to learn more.

When traveling it is very helpful to find out exactly where the U.S. embassy or consulates are located. Keep the address written down in case you have a legal problem, you lose your passport, or you want to report a crime. Be sure to keep a copy of your passport with you in case you lose the original.
