How to get your Uganda evisa
- Apply on the official portal linked on this page. Use only the government site; look-alike agency sites charge extra.
- Prepare a passport scan, a recent photo, your flight booking and first hotel address.
- Allow at least two weeks for approval, then print the eVisa or keep it on your phone.
Most African countries treat all EU passports the same way, but some do not (Mozambique and Rwanda, for example). This page uses the rule for Sweden.
