Uganda visa requirements for Australian citizens

Australian citizens need a visa to travel to Uganda for tourism or to visit family or friends. The most common option is the Uganda Tourist eVisa, which must be approved before departure. It may allow a stay of up to 90 days, subject to immigration approval.

iVisa offers two Ugandan entry documents for Australian travelers:

Uganda Tourist eVisa: A mandatory electronic visa for Australian citizens traveling to Uganda for short stays. It allows a single entry and a stay of up to 90 days, depending on approval.
East Africa Tourist Visa: A regional visa that allows Australian travelers to visit Uganda, Kenya, and Rwanda with one document. This option is ideal for travelers planning to explore multiple East African countries during the same trip. Uganda must be the first point of entry.

General Uganda visa requirements for Australian travelers are:
Australian passport valid for at least 6 months
Passport-style photograph
Yellow fever vaccination certificate
Return or onward ticket
Proof of accommodation
Other supporting documents depending on purpose or situation
