Netherlands to Uganda visa requirements

Netherlands passport holders need a visa for Uganda. Apply online in advance for the mandatory eVisa (single-entry tourist visa, USD 50). Visa-on-arrival has been phased out, so secure approval before you fly. A Netherlands ordinary passport holder traveling to Uganda for tourism requires a visa, and the standard route is the mandatory online eVisa obtained through Uganda's official Electronic Visa/Permit Application System (visas.immigration.go.ug). Uganda is not in the Schengen area, so Schengen 90/180 and ETIAS rules do not apply here. Since Uganda made online applications compulsory for all visa-prone travellers, the previous visa-on-arrival counter process has been discontinued in practice, so Dutch travelers should apply and receive an approval letter before departure. The single-entry tourist visa costs USD 50, permits a stay of up to 90 days, and the approval authorization is valid for 90 days from the date of approval (you must enter within that window). Processing typically takes 2 to 3 working days, though applying 2 to 4 weeks ahead is prudent. A passport valid for at least 6 months and a yellow fever vaccination certificate are mandatory; without the physical yellow fever certificate you can be refused entry even with an approved visa. Frequent regional travelers can instead choose the East African Tourist Visa (USD 100), a 90-day multiple-entry visa covering Uganda, Kenya, and Rwanda. Travelers should apply only through the official government portal to avoid inflated third-party fees.
