ENTRY REQUIREMENTS FOR UGANDA

Travellers are issued with a single visa to Uganda and on arrival you will be given a traveller’s pass depending on how long your stay will be in the country. Multiple entry visas are granted to business executives who make several visits to the country for business dealings.

You will require a Uganda visa if you are not a citizen of Uganda as a pre-requisite before entering the country. A visa is a clearance permitting you to proceed to visit another country.
Acquiring the visa upon arrival at Entebbe Airport or any other overland boarder is cheaper and the process straight forward, moreover the chances of Visa denial are almost zero if you can meet the simple entry requirements.
Sufficient Funds: No amount is currently specified by the immigration but having a Credit Card and a return ticket are good evidence to convince the immigration officer that you have enough money with you.
Return / Onward Tickets: This is your evidence to prove that you have enough money on you, however, if you possess a one-way ticket, be ready to do some explaining to the immigration officer who might think you do not have enough funds to buy a flight out the country.
You will therefore need to present a visitor's pass for your next destination outside Uganda to avoid messing up your trip. You may actually have to buy a return ticket to your country before being allowed entry into Uganda, therefore, if you plan to leave the country overland, then organize your trip with an airline where a refund can be given for the unused ticket and at such dates and in search countries where you will be able to access the refund.
