Do I need a visa for Uganda from Romania?
Discover visa requirements for your trip
Romanian nationals need a visa for Uganda, applied for online on the official e-Visa portal before departure. The electronic process is simple and avoids a trip to an embassy.
Uganda issues Romanian passport holders an electronic visa (e-Visa) to be obtained before travel on the official immigration portal. Some entry points may offer a visa on arrival, but the pre-approved e-Visa remains the advised route. The tourist visa is normally single entry and limited in duration.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. A Romanian citizen must hold a visa to enter Uganda for tourism. It is obtained electronically at visas.immigration.go.ug before departure. If your trip combines Uganda, Kenya and Rwanda, look into the East Africa Tourist Visa.
How and where to apply
The Romanian traveller opens an account on the official portal visas.immigration.go.ug, selects the tourist visa, completes the form and uploads the required documents. Payment is made online and an approval letter is emailed to present on arrival. No embassy visit is normally required.
Documents and fees
Prepare a Romanian passport valid for at least six months, a recent photo, proof of accommodation or itinerary, a return ticket and, crucially for Uganda, a yellow fever vaccination certificate. The visa fee is not confirmed here: check the exact amount and payment methods on the official portal.
Processing and tips
e-Visa processing usually takes a few business days, but the timeframe shown on the portal is authoritative. Apply one to two weeks before departure to absorb any delay. Print the approval letter and keep a digital copy accessible offline.
Common mistakes
Do not travel without the yellow fever certificate: it is required at entry and its absence can justify refusal. Do not confuse the e-Visa approval letter with the visa itself, which is stamped on arrival. Finally, do not assume the fee: confirm it on the official portal before paying.
