Entry requirements
- Uganda’s ‘Visa Exempt Countries’ page lists Ethiopia only under diplomatic/official passport abolition agreements, not under ordinary passport visa-exempt countries.
- Uganda Immigration states that persons intending to travel to Uganda for tourism are required to apply and obtain a visa online.
Uganda visa exemptions can depend on passport type (ordinary vs diplomatic/official). Always confirm the correct category and apply via official Uganda immigration channels before travel.
