We submit within 1 hour — and WhatsApp you the approval PDF instantly.

Yes — Uganda e-Visa does **not require UAE residence**. Visit visa holders, tourists, and GCC residents can apply.

Technically yes — but not recommended**. Long queues (1–3 hours), USD cash only, and frequent rejections due to minor errors. The e-Visa is faster, cheaper, and print-at-home.

Yes — 100% mandatory**, enforced at check-in and Entebbe immigration. No ICV = no boarding. Certificate is valid for life (post-2016 WHO update).

Children under 9 months** are exempt — but must carry a doctor-signed exemption letter. Ages 9 months+ require vaccination.

Only if arriving from a polio-endemic country (e.g., Pakistan, Afghanistan). UAE is not on the list — so not required** for most UAE travelers.

No — the standard tourist e-Visa covers gorilla/chimpanzee trekking. But you must book permits in advance** (6–12 months for peak season). We can connect you with trusted Ugandan tour operators.

Yes — but not recommended**. The Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA) requires a copy of your visa when issuing permits. Apply for your e-Visa first to avoid delays.

Yes — even newborns. Required: passport (or added to parent’s), photo, and birth certificate copy.

Immigration is efficient — but strict on Yellow Fever.

Not for the visa — but essential** for gorilla trekking and remote areas. Many operators require coverage for medical evacuation. We recommend policies (~AED 130) that include adventure sports.

No — but Uganda, Kenya, and Rwanda offer the East African Tourist Visa (USD 100)**, valid for 90 days across all 3. We can arrange this as a better value for multi-country trips.
