Documents You Need for a Uganda Visa Application
A checklist of the supporting documents most Uganda visa and permit applications require, uploaded through the online portal.
Important
Uganda's online applications ask you to upload scanned supporting documents. While the exact list depends on the visa or permit type, a common core applies to most visitor applications, with additional documents for work, study, family and residence routes.
Prepare clear scans in advance so the upload step is straightforward. Passports should generally be valid for at least six months, and a valid Yellow Fever vaccination certificate is a standard health-entry requirement for Uganda.
