What’s changed for Ugandan passports

US visa bond

Ugandan applicants for US visitor visas can be asked for a bond of up to US$20,000, a rule made permanent in August 2026. It’s refunded if you follow the visa conditions.

United Kingdom

Ugandan passport holders need a UK Standard Visitor visa: £135 since 8 April 2026. Read the UK guide.

Kenya

Ugandan passport holders can visit Kenya without a visa or eTA for up to 180 days (Legal Notice 93 of 2025). Kenya’s own eTA site may not show this yet, so check the IATA Travel Centre before you fly.

Sri Lanka

Ugandan passport holders need Sri Lanka’s online ETA (US$50; not on Sri Lanka’s free list).
