South Korean ordinary passport holders need a visa to enter Uganda. There is no visa-free entry and visa-on-arrival was discontinued; you must obtain an eVisa online in advance through the official portal visas.immigration.go.ug before you travel. Uganda requires all South Korean ordinary passport holders to obtain a visa before arrival. Since 2016 Uganda phased out traditional visa-on-arrival and moved to a mandatory online eVisa system administered by the Directorate of Citizenship and Immigration Control. For a short tourist visit the relevant product is the single-entry Tourist eVisa, which costs USD 50 (plus a small online payment surcharge), permits a stay of up to 90 days, and is single entry. The eVisa approval (authorisation) is valid for 90 days from the date of issue, meaning you must enter Uganda within that window. Processing typically takes 2 to 7 business days. A yellow fever vaccination certificate is mandatory for all travelers entering Uganda, and the vaccine must be administered at least 10 days before arrival. Travelers planning a regional circuit covering Uganda, Kenya, and Rwanda can instead choose the East Africa Tourist Visa (USD 100, 90 days, multiple entry across the three countries). Applications must be made only through the official government portal; numerous third-party sites charge inflated processing fees and should be avoided. Apply at least two weeks before departure to allow for processing.
