  5. Return or onward ticket

    Uganda's immigration service lists a return ticket among the attachments for the East African Tourist Visa, and a travel itinerary or booking for a single-entry tourism visa. No official source we could read states a rule for visa-exempt visitors.

  6. Proof of funds

    No official source we could read sets a proof-of-funds requirement or amount for visitors; Uganda's tourist visa page lists the documents to upload, and money is not among them.

  7. Vaccinations

    No longer required for entry: Uganda's immigration service announced on 2 October 2026 that travellers do not need a yellow fever vaccination certificate for entry. The US CDC recommends the vaccine for all travellers aged 9 months or older, and the East African Tourist Visa and multiple-entry visa pages still list the certificate among the attachments.

  8. Vaccinations

    Not an entry requirement. The US CDC recommends that travellers going to Uganda take prescription medicine to prevent malaria.
