## Evidence timeline

- **Current official route — Named foreign nationalities: visa-free short visits** (Visa-free)
  Uganda's live NCIC schedule expressly says nationals of these 40 listed countries or regions do not require a visa. The classification is visa_free, not a visa on arrival.
  - The current NCIC schedule frames the exemption as visa-abolition agreements. 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.
