Uganda Visa fees are back to USD50 from USD100.

The government of Uganda and the ministry of Internal Affairs would like to notify everyone planning a trip to Uganda that the cost of a Ugandan visa has returned to USD50 from USD100, as it had been for the previous year.

Last year, Katland Safaris broke the initial news about this, and it has already happened. This change is effective as of July 22, 2016, and notification has been sent to all Ugandan border crossings and entrance points.

The rationale for the return of Uganda visa costs from $100 to $50

Uganda’s visa costs have been reduced from $100 to $50 in part to support the travel industry, which generates the majority of the nation’s foreign currency earnings.

This occurs concurrently with the introduction of online visa applications by the Ugandan government. Those planning trips to Uganda should get in touch with their tour providers for the necessary information.

The Ugandan tourist community has applauded the decision to change the price of a Ugandan visa from USD100 to USD50, as it would somewhat lower the cost for individuals who are interested in traveling to Uganda.

Despite Uganda’s abundance of tourist attractions, which include the chimpanzees of Kibale Forest National Park, the magnificent mountains of the Rwenzori, the mountain gorillas of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, and a variety of cultural experiences, it has long been seen as a costly travel destination.

Restoring the visa fee to USD $50 is also seen as a positive step as the nation attempts to invest in a sector that has been neglected for a very long time while consistently earning the most foreign cash. The funding for promoting Uganda as a travel destination tripled last year, along with the introduction of an autonomous Ministry of Tourism.
