Tourism

Travelling to Uganda from Democratic Republic of the Congo

Uganda's tourist visa is intended for visits such as tourism, family visits and medical treatment. Visa-required travellers should obtain the applicable online approval before departure. Visa-exempt travellers should still travel with valid documents and comply with the conditions of entry.

For travellers planning to visit Uganda, Kenya and Rwanda for tourism, the East African Tourist Visa is a separate option. The issuing country should be the traveller's first entry point.
