Uganda Visa & Permit Fees
An overview of Uganda's published visa and permit fees, all payable through the official online portal — always confirm current amounts before paying.
Important
Uganda's visa and permit fees are set by the DCIC and are paid through the official e-Immigration System at the point of application. Visitor visas are charged in US dollars, while some residence and citizenship applications are charged in Ugandan Shillings.
Fees change from time to time, and work/entry-permit fees vary considerably by class and duration. Treat the figures below as a guide and confirm the exact, current amount on the official portal before paying.
Never enter payment details on any site other than visas.immigration.go.ug — the DCIC has warned about fraudulent look-alike websites.
