The Government of the Republic of Uganda has given the following directives effective 3rd July 2021 until 31 July 2021 regarding clearance of tourists and other residents returning to Uganda:
- Airlines shall carry only travellers with approved and authorized visas or valid resident facility (entry/work permits, passes or certificate of residence).
- All travellers holding ordinary passports from Countries whose citizens are required to have visas to enter Uganda will be required to apply for visas online prior to travel at visas.immigration.go.ug and will receive an approved notification which they must print and travel with as travel authorization.
The above directives are effective as of 3rd July, and as Adventure Consults, we request all our clients to kindly adhere accordingly so as to avoid any inconveniences.
