GENERAL VISA INFORMATION Visas are valid only from the date of issue and stated period. REQUIREMENTS Two duly filled application forms by each applicant. Two colour passport size photographs. (Originals) Valid passport, valid for at least six months from the proposed date of entry. Correct visa fee, letter of invitation/introduction, if traveling on business. Applicants may be requested to submit additional supporting documentation. VISA FEES AND OTHER DETAILS Only Single entry Visas are issued at a fee of US $50. Student Entry Visas are issued at a fee of US $100. Visas are valid for three months from the date of issue. This means that a visa holder should use the visa within three months from the date of issuance. This does not mean the holder is granted 3 months to stay in the country. The length of stay in the country is determined by the immigration officer at the port of entry and begins on the day the holder enters the country, and not from the date when visa was issued. Visas are issued within two working days from the date of receipt of the application. (For National Passport Holders). It may take a bit longer for other categories of applicants, depending on the information availed. Failure to fully complete the application form may result in the issuance of a visa being delayed or refused. Visas issued at the High Commission enable the holder to proceed to a port of entry where he/she must comply with the laws and regulations governing the admission of persons to the Republic of Uganda. Possession of a visa is not a guarantee of entry to the country. Visas issued at the High Commission do not state the period the holder should stay in the country. Period of stay in the country is determined by immigration officers at the port of entry. The immigration officers may deny a visitor entry if he does not fulfill immigration requirements, or does not hold sufficient funds to support himself/herself for a reasonable period after his/her arrival, return/onward tickets and other documents required for his/her destination. * Please note that processing fee is non-refundable.
