Spain to Uganda visa requirements
Spanish passport holders need a visa for Uganda and must obtain an eVisa online before travel. There is no visa-free entry and no genuine visa-on-arrival; all visa-eligible travelers must apply through the official portal before arriving. A Spain (ES) ordinary passport holder traveling to Uganda for tourism requires a visa. Uganda is not in the Schengen area, so EU/Schengen rules do not apply. Since 2016 Uganda has mandated online (eVisa) applications for all visa-prone travelers, including Spanish nationals, and walk-up visa-on-arrival is no longer offered as a standard channel. The standard product is the single-entry Ordinary/Tourist eVisa: USD 50, allowing a stay of up to 90 days (commonly granted for 30-90 days at the officer's discretion), with the approval letter valid for 90 days from issue within which you must enter. Applications are filed at the official government portal visas.immigration.go.ug. A valid Yellow Fever vaccination certificate is mandatory both as an upload and at the border, and the passport must be valid for at least 6 months with a blank page. Travelers also visiting Kenya and Rwanda on the same trip may instead choose the East African Tourist Visa (USD 100, multiple entry across the three countries, 90 days). Beware of third-party sites charging inflated fees; use only the official portal.
