Can you get a Uganda visa on arrival at the Entebbe airport?

Yes, it is possible to obtain a visa upon arrival at Entebbe International Airport in Uganda. The visa-on-arrival option is available for citizens of most countries, including South Sudan. This means that South Sudanese travelers can apply for and receive their visa at the airport upon arrival, making the process more convenient for those who have not obtained a visa in advance. 

However, there are several advantages to why you should consider applying for a Uganda visa online (e-visa) instead of opting for a visa on arrival in Uganda.

  • Convenience: You can easily access the application form online and submit all the required documents electronically, eliminating the need to be physically present at the Embassy.
  • Time-saving: By obtaining an e-visa in advance, you can save valuable time upon arrival in Uganda, you can bypass these queues and proceed directly to the immigration counter for faster entry.
  • Avoid uncertainty and potential issues: Applying for an e-visa ensures that you obtain the necessary travel documents before your trip. This eliminates the risk of being denied entry or facing complications upon arrival due to insufficient documents or other unforeseen circumstances.

By applying for an e-visa, you can make a preparation beforehand with peace of mind. For more details about the price, please see the Uganda e-visa fees section.
