Do Germany passport holders need a visa to visit UG?
German passport holders need an eVisa to visit Uganda. Apply online before travel at the official portal (visas.immigration.go.ug); there is no visa on arrival. The single-entry tourist eVisa costs USD 50, allows up to 90 days, and a yellow fever vaccination certificate is mandatory. Germany is not visa-exempt for Uganda, and Uganda discontinued visa-on-arrival for visa-prone travellers — all such travellers must obtain an electronic visa (Travel Authorisation/Visa Approval Letter) before boarding. German ordinary passport holders apply online via the official Uganda E-Immigration system at visas.immigration.go.ug. The standard tourist eVisa is single-entry, costs USD 50, and permits a stay of up to 90 days; the passport must be valid for at least 6 months on arrival and a yellow fever vaccination certificate is required for entry. Processing typically takes 2-3 business days; on approval the traveller receives a letter of authorisation with a barcode by email, which is printed and presented at the airport, where the visa sticker/stamp is issued. Travellers combining Uganda with Kenya and Rwanda can instead use the East Africa Tourist Visa (USD 100, multiple-entry, 90 days), provided Uganda is the first entry point. Beware of unofficial third-party sites charging inflated processing fees; only the government portal should be used.
