The East African countries came together with an East African Tourist Visa that allows multiple entries to all member countries with the East African Community using one visa, this kind of visa has become very interesting and now very popular, especially for those who are planning a combine tour/safari visit more than one East African countries. This visa can also be got on arrival which will help you to save a lot of hassle and money at the entry points. One single East Africa Tourist Visa will allow traveling between Uganda, Kenya, and Rwanda using the same multiple entry visa that can be applied online, get it on the arrival, or from Embassies from the above countries.

If you are using an online Uganda visa application, for example in Uganda use to go to the official website of DIRECTORATE of CITIZENSHIP and IMMIGRATION CONTROL, fill out the online forms and follow the steps listed you will get there, a single visa cost $50 which you will use your credit card if applying online, you flow the same steps to if you want also to apply for East African Tourist Visa online which cost $100 for multiple entries to all East African Community member countries.

After submitting an application with all the supporting documents required to the immigration office then after 2 to 3 days, you will receive an email to confirm with the bar-code which you have to print and show to the immigration offices on the arrival with your passport.

Is it possible to apply for the Uganda visa and East African Tourist Visa at the Ugandan Embassy from my home country?

Yes, it is possible to just walk to the Uganda embassy in your country and apply for either an East African Tourist Visa or a normal Uganda visa, but you shout take note that this process sometimes it’s not friendly because you will have to go to the embassy physical so we still recommend you to obtain your visa on the arrival.
