Indonesia to Uganda visa requirements

Indonesian ordinary passport holders need a visa for Uganda. Indonesia is not on Uganda's visa-exempt list, so the standard route is an online eVisa (single-entry tourist visa, USD 50) obtained before travel via the official portal visas.immigration.go.ug. A valid yellow fever vaccination certificate is mandatory. Indonesia is not among the roughly 40+ countries that Uganda exempts from visa requirements, so an Indonesian ordinary passport holder must obtain a visa to enter Uganda for tourism. The recommended and standard method is the electronic visa (eVisa), applied for and paid online through the official Uganda Electronic Visa/Permit Application System at visas.immigration.go.ug. The single-entry tourist visa costs USD 50 (plus a small online card surcharge) and permits a stay of up to 90 days; the approval letter is valid for 90 days from issue, so travelers should enter within that window. Applications are typically decided within 2-3 working days, but applying at least 5 working days before travel is advised. A passport with at least 6 months' validity, a passport-bio-data scan, a passport photo, proof of accommodation/onward travel, and a mandatory yellow fever vaccination certificate are required. Travelers visiting Uganda together with Kenya and Rwanda on one trip may instead choose the multiple-entry East Africa Tourist Visa (USD 100). All applications must be made only via the official government website; third-party sites charge extra and are not official.
