Do I Have to Pay a Uganda Departure Tax?
Uganda's departure taxes are typically included in your international airline ticket price. You generally do not need to pay separately at the airport.
International departure fees and security charges are bundled into ticket prices when you purchase your flights. Confirm with your airline that all taxes are included to avoid surprises at the airport.
For domestic flights within Uganda, pricing is typically all-inclusive as well. Charter flights may have different arrangements, so confirm costs with your operator in advance.
Keep some US dollars or Ugandan shillings available for any incidental airport expenses. The airport has ATMs and currency exchange, though rates may be less favorable than in Kampala.
