Entry may be refused to passengers not holding sufficient funds, return or onward tickets, and other necessary travel documents.
Visas are required by all nationals referred to in the chart above except (1) nationals of Cyprus and Malta, who do not require a visa.

You can obtain visas either via the embassy/high commission or using the e-Visa system (https://visas.immigration.go.ug/).
Travellers who are also visiting Rwanda and Kenya may find it more useful to apply for an East Africa cross-border joint visa which allows entry into all three countries on a single visa.

You can apply through the e-Visa system (www.visas.immigration.go.ug).
Travellers should have sufficient funds to cover their stay in Uganda, but proving this should only be necessary if you arrive with a one-way ticket, as officials may need reassurance that you can afford to leave the country when it’s time to go home.
If you wish to extend your stay, you can do this online on the Immigration portal (https://visas.immigration.go.ug/) before your current visa expires. If you overstay your visa, you will be charged US$100 per day.
Cats and dogs must have a certificate of good health from a registered veterinarian in the area of origin, which must be issued, signed and stamped no earlier than 10 days before arrival in Uganda. You will also need a certificate confirming the animal is free of rabies and has been inoculated as necessary.
Dogs require vaccinations against distemper, parvo-virus, rabies, hepatitis and leptospirosos, not less than 30 days prior to arrival.
Cats should be vaccinated against rabies and feline entritis, not less than 30 days prior to arrival.
