Mexico to Uganda visa requirements

Mexican passport holders need a visa to enter Uganda. The standard route is the Uganda eVisa, applied for online before travel at the official portal visas.immigration.go.ug. A single-entry ordinary (tourist) eVisa costs USD 50, allows a stay of up to 90 days, and is normally decided within 2-3 working days. A valid yellow fever vaccination certificate is mandatory. Mexico is not among the roughly 40 nationalities Uganda exempts from visas (the exempt list is dominated by East African Community, COMESA/regional African states plus a few partners such as Ireland, Malaysia, Singapore and the UAE — Mexico is not included). Uganda also abolished visa-on-arrival for visa-prone travellers and made online (eVisa) application mandatory, so Mexican citizens must obtain their visa in advance. The applicable product for a short tourist visit is the Single-Entry Tourist/Ordinary eVisa: USD 50, valid for entry within 90 days of approval, granting a stay of up to 90 days, with a typical decision time of 2-3 working days (allow 1-2 weeks to be safe). Applicants upload a passport bio-data page, passport photo and — critically — a valid yellow fever vaccination certificate, which is mandatory for entry and checked at the border. Payment is by Visa or MasterCard on the official government portal; travellers should avoid third-party sites that add large processing fees. Travellers visiting multiple East African countries may instead choose the East Africa Tourist Visa (USD 100, multiple entry, valid 90 days, covering Uganda, Kenya and Rwanda). This guidance is current as of 2026-05-30.
