Uganda visa requirements for Danish citizens

Uganda visa-free is not applied for citizens of Denmark, therefore, they must acquire a valid visa before visiting Uganda. To boost tourism, the Ugandan Government introduced an electronic visa (e-Visa) system back in 2016, making it easier for eligible countries to apply for visas online, eliminating the need for a visit to an Embassy or Consulate.

Acquiring a Uganda Electronic Visa is a simple process that can be done in a matter of minutes. Travelers must simply visit the Uganda Immigration Services website, provide their personal information, and upload a copy of their national passport and a passport-sized image.
