Do you need a visa?
Yes, Polish citizens must obtain a visa to enter Uganda. The country favours the e-Visa applied for online before departure; some entry points may also offer a visa on arrival. Also consider the East Africa Tourist Visa if you combine Kenya and Rwanda.
How and where to apply
Polish travellers create an account on visas.immigration.go.ug, complete the form and upload supporting documents. Payment is made online and the approval is emailed to be shown on arrival at Entebbe or land borders.
Documents and fees
