Uganda Visa Fees Reduced To $50, You Can Now Come Visit Us For Less by iconzmagazine(m): 1:32pm On Sep 14, 2016 |
With effect from July 22nd 2016, tourists seeking to come to Uganda for Uganda Safaris or Uganda Safari will pay half of the money they have been paying for single entry tourist visas. Government has halved the fees from $100 to $50 in an effort to encourage more tourists to come to the country that has been consistently ranked among top tour destinations in the world for the past few years. The CNN travel magazine last year ranked Uganda among the 16 top tourist destinations in the world. In 2012, Lonely Planet, another global travel magazine, ranked Uganda as a number one tourist destination. Bloom Consulting, a global form specializing in country branding and ranking, placed Uganda in the eighth position among the top ten tourist destinations in 2014. Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, Queen Elizabeth National Park and Murchison Falls National Parks have separately been ranked among to birding sites in Africa. According to a statement issued by the internal affairs ministry on Thursday, a statutory instrument has been issued to effect the changes in visa fees. Uganda sells other types of tourist visas including multiple and transit permits. The fee for other visas has not been revised. The decision to slash single tourist visas fees, according to the internal affairs ministry, was reached after a request by officials from tourism docket. “All people seeking to enter Uganda shall pay $50 instead of $100. All Ugandan borders have been notified to effect the change,” reads a statement from the internal affairs ministry. The internal affairs ministry spokesperson, Jacob Simunyu, said Uganda was charging the highest fees for single entry tourist visas in the East African region. Tourists have been paying an equal amount of money for the single entry tourist visa for Uganda and the one for East Africa. However, the East Africa single tourist visa issued at the point of entry into the region allows tourists to travel to Uganda, Kenya and Rwanda on the same permit. The non-extendable visa is valid for only three months. Love Tourism? Come see what Uganda has to offer. |

I'm guessing the East African visa arrangement still exists i.e. a visa obtained to gain entry into Kenya can also be used to enter other East African countries and visa versa. 1 Like |
