Frequently asked questions (FAQ) about e-Visa in Uganda

Uganda boasts diverse tourist attractions across its national parks, making it an ideal destination for Greek citizens. However, Greece is not included in Uganda's visa-free list, necessitating a visa application for entry. Fortunately, since July 2016, Uganda has implemented an online system for e-visa applications, enabling Greek travelers to obtain electronic approval to enter the country.  The Uganda e-visa simplifies the process, allowing convenient access without needing in-person interviews with embassies and consulates. It's important to note that the e-visa is for tourism, transit in Uganda, or short-term business purposes only. The online application takes less than 20 minutes, and the e-visa results are generally emailed to applicants within 3 working days.
