Discover visa requirements for your trip
Belgian nationals must obtain a visa for Uganda; the e-Visa is requested online on the official portal before travel.
A Belgian traveler cannot enter Uganda for tourism without a visa. The application is made through the official electronic portal visas.immigration.go.ug, where the file is submitted and processed before departure. This online system replaces the traditional embassy filing for most visitors.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. Holders of a Belgian passport must obtain a visa before traveling to Uganda. The tourist e-Visa covers short stays and is obtained entirely online.
How and where to apply
Create an account on the official visas.immigration.go.ug portal, complete the form and upload your supporting documents. After approval you receive an authorization letter to present on arrival at Entebbe airport, where the visa is finalized.
Documents and fees
Prepare a Belgian passport valid for at least six months, a recent photo, your itinerary and, importantly, a yellow-fever vaccination certificate. The exact fee is not stated here: check the current price on the official portal.
Processing and tips
E-Visa processing time varies; submit your application several days before departure. Print the approval letter and also carry your vaccination record, as both are checked at entry.
Common mistakes
Forgetting the yellow-fever certificate is the most common error and can lead to denied boarding or entry. Also verify your passport meets the six-month validity rule, and do not leave the online application to the last minute.
