Document requirements
| Document | Status | Scope | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| India to Uganda tourism — online single-entry visitor visa: Ordinary Indian passport needs the visitor visa | required | visa application | Example from this named route only. Uganda’s current visa-exempt list does not include ordinary Indian passports. India appears only in its separate diplomatic/official-passport exemption list. This guide assumes an ordinary passport and does not import that exemption. |
| India to Uganda tourism — online single-entry visitor visa: Apply through the Uganda immigration portal | required | visa application | Example from this named route only. Select the single-entry tourist/ordinary visa and the actual purpose in Uganda’s official immigration portal. Complete the form and upload the category-specific files. Keep the generated application ID to track the decision. An unapproved submission or payment receipt alone is not travel authorisation. |
| India to Uganda tourism — online single-entry visitor visa: Passport biodata copy with at least six months validity | required | visa application | Example from this named route only. Upload the biodata page of the actual ordinary Indian passport. NCIC lists at least six months passport validity for this visitor visa. Carry the same passport for travel and border checks. |
| India to Uganda tourism — online single-entry visitor visa: Recent passport-size photograph | required | visa application | Example from this named route only. Upload a recent passport-size photo matching the person and passport. For the business/conference branch NCIC specifies taken within six months; follow the portal’s current format instructions for every branch. |
| India to Uganda tourism — online single-entry visitor visa: Tour plan and travel itinerary | required | visa application | Example from this named route only. Upload the actual tour plan and travel itinerary or booking that match the intended stay. A speculative travel date is not an approval guarantee. |
| India to Uganda tourism — online single-entry visitor visa: Hotel booking or actual alternative address | required | visa application | Example from this named route only. Upload the hotel booking or reservation. If staying elsewhere, give the actual accommodation address instead; do not invent a hotel reservation. |
| India to Uganda tourism — online single-entry visitor visa: English-language attachments | required | visa application | Example from this named route only. NCIC states that all attached documents should be in English. Provide a faithful English version for any required non-English invitation or other attachment, and verify any case-specific certification request in the portal. The page does not impose a blanket apostille on this short-visit file. |
| India to Uganda tourism — online single-entry visitor visa: Visa fee and approval are separate | required | visa application | Example from this named route only. The NCIC page lists USD 50 for the single-entry visa, non-refundable, with bank charges. Pay only through the official application flow and retain the receipt. The officer may request more documents; neither payment nor an application ID guarantees approval. |
| India to Uganda tourism — online single-entry visitor visa: Travel within the approval window and complete border biometrics | required | visa application | Example from this named route only. If approved, keep the emailed approval authorisation, uploaded documents, payment receipt and passport. NCIC says the authorisation becomes invalid 90 days after approval; travel within that period and report for biometric capture at the immigration office or border. The permission to enter and final stay conditions are checked at arrival. |
| India to Uganda tourism — online single-entry visitor visa: October 2026 yellow-fever entry update | required | visa application | Example from this named route only. NCIC’s 2 October 2026 notice states that a yellow-fever vaccination certificate is no longer mandatory for entry and is not on the visa portal. Do not pay for a certificate solely because older NCIC FAQ pages still list it. Check current health advice separately for medical protection and any itinerary-specific transit rules. |
| India to Uganda business meeting — single-entry visitor visa: Ordinary Indian passport needs the visitor visa | required | visa application | Example from this named route only. Uganda’s current visa-exempt list does not include ordinary Indian passports. India appears only in its separate diplomatic/official-passport exemption list.
