It does not publish a common ordinary-visitor duration, purpose or work entitlement; confirm the admission stamp and agreement-specific conditions at entry.","The archived 2021 visa-prone notice has a different 39-country list: it includes AO, CU and LY, but not the live schedule's CD, MZ, AE or HK. The live NCIC schedule controls current nationality scope; the 2021 notice supports online-processing mechanics only.","For EAC travel, the Kigali High Commission says Rwanda and Kenya citizens may enter with a valid national identity card or e-passport; Burundi and Tanzania citizens are exempt with a valid e-passport or laissez-passer. This ordinary-passport policy does not convert those alternative documents into a residence right.","A visa-exempt national holding a valid Conventional Travel Document is also exempt from the online visa requirement. Treatment of other refugee, alien, emergency or special documents is not established here.","The NCIC page separately exempts diplomatic/official passports of DZ, CU, EG, ET, IN, IR, RU, SN, ZA, TR (diplomatic only), VE and VN, plus named international-organization laissez-passers on official business. Those exceptions do not broaden ordinary-passport access.","Valid Kenya, Rwanda or Uganda resident-permit holders travelling within those territories can obtain an InterState Pass at entry; that residence exception does not apply to travel into Uganda from outside Kenya or Rwanda.","Visa-free status does not authorize employment, study, residence, work, crew, transit, diplomatic/official travel, East African Tourist Visa travel, or otherwise inadmissible entry."],"sourceIds":["uganda-immigration-current-visa-exempt-list","uganda-immigration-visa-prone-online-approval","uganda-mofa-kigali-eac-resident-entry-rules","uganda-immigration-ctd-visa-free-update"]}],"conditional":[],"sources":[{"id":"uganda-immigration-current-visa-exempt-list","title":"Visa Exempt Countries or Regions","url":"https://www.immigration.go.ug/node/194","publisher":"National Citizenship and Immigration Control, Ministry of Internal Affairs","jurisdiction":"Uganda","kind":"government-guidance","language":"English","reviewedAt":"2026-08-20"},{"id":"uganda-immigration-visa-prone-online-approval","title":"Mandatory online visa applications for all visa-prone travellers to Uganda","url":"https://immigration.go.ug/mandatory-online-visa-applications-all-visa-prone-travellers-uganda","publisher":"National Citizenship and Immigration Control, Ministry of Internal Affairs","jurisdiction":"Uganda","kind":"government-guidance","language":"English","reviewedAt":"2026-08-20"},{"id":"uganda-mofa-kigali-eac-resident-entry-rules","title":"Visas, Permits, and e-Passports Services","url":"https://kigali.mofa.go.ug/basic-page/visas-permits-and-e-passports-services","publisher":"Uganda High Commission, Kigali","jurisdiction":"Uganda","kind":"government-guidance","language":"English","reviewedAt":"2026-08-20"},{"id":"uganda-immigration-ctd-visa-free-update","title":"Uganda Immigration Update: Conventional Travel Document holders from visa-exempt countries","url":"https://www.immigration.go.ug/node/240","publisher":"National Citizenship and Immigration Control, Ministry of Internal Affairs","jurisdiction":"Uganda","kind":"government-guidance","language":"English","reviewedAt":"2026-08-20"}]}
