Uganda Visa for Canadian citizens (2026)

Can Canadian citizens get a Uganda eVisa?

Uganda grants online eligibility to Canadian citizens across 3 visa options such as Tourist Evisa (Single Entry for 90 days), East Africa Evisa (Multiple Entries for 90 days), Transit Evisa (Single Entry for 7 days). Uganda currently supports Single Entry or Multiple Entries, with a permitted stay of 90 days or 7 days. Government fees range from US$90.00 to US$150.00, depending on the visa type. Standard processing is typically 5 working days, with faster options around 2 working days.

Documents and tips for Canadian travellers

Canadian passports come in 5- and 10-year versions; whichever you hold, verify it meets the destination’s minimum validity beyond your planned departure. Charges are usually in US dollars, so Canadian applicants should expect a minor CAD-to-USD conversion on their card statement. The most common avoidable mistake for Canadian citizens: applying with an expiring passport: renew first if your Canadian passport is within a few months of expiry, or the eVisa may be tied to a document you can no longer use.

• Match your application to the names and passport number on your current Canadian passport.
• Dual Canadian citizens should apply on the passport they will physically travel on to avoid mismatches at the border.
• Save the approval to your phone — Canadian travellers are often asked for it when connecting through a third country.
