How Long Can I Stay In Uganda?
A standard tourist visa allows stays of up to 90 days. Extensions are possible through the immigration department in Kampala if you wish to stay longer.
The Single-Entry Tourist Visa permits a stay of up to 90 days from your date of entry. This is typically sufficient for even comprehensive safari itineraries covering multiple parks.
If you need to extend your stay, visit the Directorate of Citizenship and Immigration Control in Kampala before your visa expires. Extensions are generally straightforward for tourists but require payment of additional fees.
For the East African Tourist Visa, the 90-day validity applies across all three countries (Uganda, Kenya, Rwanda), and you can move freely between them during that period. Time spent in any of the three countries counts toward your total.
