What is a Visa to Uganda? who needs it?
A Uganda or Kenya visa is a clearance permitting an individual to proceed to visit. Visas are issued at Uganda or Kenya Missions/embassies abroad and also at the entry and exit points of each specific country like Entebbe airport, Nairobi,Busia boarder, Malaba boarder etc.
In 1999 Uganda introduced visa requirements for all visitors and people entering Uganda except nationals of a few countries. There are different types of visas needed depending on what you are going to Uganda or Kenya for Student Visas, Single Entry visas, Multiple Entry 6 months visas, Multiple Entry 1 year visas, or Inland Transit visas.
If you arrive or enter Uganda or Kenya without a valid travel visa, you may be fined and immediately deported at your own expense
1. A passport valid for at least six months. (Passport must be signed.)
