Discover visa requirements for your trip

Uganda has moved visa issuance online: from Brazil, the e-Visa application is made on the official portal before departure. Some entry points may offer a visa on arrival, but the authorization obtained beforehand secures the trip. The passport must stay valid for at least six months.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. Brazilian citizens must apply for an e-Visa before travelling to Uganda. The application is made online in advance; do not rely solely on sorting it out at Entebbe airport, as the prior e-Visa is the recommended route.
How and where to apply
From Brazil, log in to the official portal visas.immigration.go.ug, create an account, fill in the form and upload the required documents. After review, the approval (authorization letter) is sent to you electronically. You present it on arrival, where the visa is affixed. No physical consular step is needed for the standard process.
Documents and fees
Prepare a passport valid for at least six months, a compliant photo, your itinerary, proof of accommodation and a yellow-fever vaccination certificate, generally required for Uganda. The exact tourist visa amount is set by the official portal: check it there for the current fee. Confirm any additional documents on the same source.
Processing and tips
Processing time is not guaranteed: submit several days before departure to absorb any delay. Keep both a printed and a digital copy of the approval letter. Double-check every field, especially the passport number, before you submit.
Common mistakes
The main pitfalls: using an unofficial intermediary site that overcharges, forgetting the yellow-fever certificate often checked on arrival, or applying too late. Make sure the name entered matches the passport exactly and confirm the health and entry requirements on the official source.
