Uganda Visa For Colombian Citizens - Requirements & Fees

Colombian citizens need to obtain a visa to enter Uganda. In 2016, the Ugandan Government introduced an electronic visa (e-Visa) system, which allows eligible countries, including Colombia, to apply for visas online, eliminating the need to visit an Embassy or Consulate. For tourism purposes, Uganda Immigration Services offers the following types of e-visas:

• Tourist e-Visa: The tourist e-visa permits visitors to stay in the country for tourism purposes for up to 90 days, and it allows for a single entry.
• East Africa e-Visa: This type of e-visa allows travelers to visit Uganda, Kenya, and Rwanda within 90 days and permits multiple entries.
• Transit e-Visa: The transit e-visa allows visitors to transit through Uganda for a maximum of 7 days, and this visa cannot be extended.

Additionally, travelers can get a visa on arrival in Uganda. However, we highly advise you to select the online visa application approach. For better information, check the differences between Uganda eVisa and Visa on arrival. 

While Colombian citizens have the option to acquire a visa upon arrival in Uganda, this process involves waiting in line at the Immigration checkpoint and applying for the visa in person. 

There is a possibility of encountering complications, such as insufficient documents or information, which can make the visa-on-arrival process more complex and time-consuming. Therefore, Colombian travelers should apply for a visa online. Uganda Immigration Services offers comprehensive visa information and application services 24/7 for Colombian tourists.

In this section, we will provide you with a list of the documents typically required to apply for a visa to Uganda. Please note that this is a basic requirement, and it may vary depending on the purposes of your trip. For a smooth application process, applicants must have:

• A valid passport: A valid passport with a minimum validity of 06 months beyond the intended departure date from Uganda.
• A copy of the biographical information in the passport.
• A passport-sized photograph of the applicant.
• Proof of Yellow Fever vaccination: This document must be ACQUIRED before traveling to Uganda.
• A credit/ debit card for e-visa payment. 
• Additionally, do confirm your travel intent; date of arrival & departure from the country. 

Do keep in mind that particular requirements may differ depending on individual circumstances and the kind of visa being filed for. It is always best to check the Uganda e-visa requirements in advance or contact us right away for related visa services and assistance.
