Can I cancel my Uganda visa application?
Yes, it is possible to cancel your Uganda visa application. However, it is crucial to understand the strict conditions and limitations outlined in the official refund policy once an order has been submitted through ugandaimmigration.org. The ability to cancel and whether a refund is available, depends entirely on the timing of your request and whether your application has already entered the government processing stage.
Cancelling before payment
If you have filled out the visa application form but have not yet completed payment, you may simply abandon or cancel the process at any time. No action is needed and no charges will apply.
Cancelling after payment
Once payment has been made and your application submitted, the order enters a time-sensitive processing phase. At this point, cancellations are only possible under very limited conditions:
- You must contact our support team within 4 hours of your successful order submission.
- If your request is received within this 4-hour window and your application has not yet been submitted to the Uganda government (i.e., no Application ID generated), we may be able to cancel it.
- If the application has already been forwarded to the government or an approval letter has been issued, cancellation is no longer possible and no refund will be granted.
Are refunds available?
Refunds are not guaranteed and are governed by the Refund Policy. In general:
- All refund requests must be submitted within 4 hours of the order being placed.
- Service fees are non-refundable once processing begins.
- Government fees are non-refundable under any circumstance once submitted to the Uganda authorities.
- A refund may be granted only in rare situations such as:
- A duplicate application.
- A confirmed failure on our part to provide the service as promised.
When refunds are not possible
Refunds will not be issued under the following conditions:
- If incorrect information was submitted (e.g., flight number, hotel address, arrival date).
- If the request is made after 4 hours of the initial order.
- If the traveler arrives more than 30 minutes later than declared.
- If the required supporting documents are not provided within 3 days of order confirmation.
Why prompt contact matters
Visa processing often begins immediately after submission. To maximize your chances of cancellation and refund eligibility, it is essential to contact our support team within 4 hours of placing your order. Delayed requests will likely result in denial due to advanced processing.
Conclusion
Cancelling a Uganda visa application is possible, but only within a very limited timeframe. We strongly advise applicants to double-check all personal and travel details before making payment and to reach out to our support team immediately if a cancellation becomes necessary.
