No visa on arrival for Slovenian citizens
You must have an approved eVisa before you fly. Airlines will deny boarding if you don't have the printed approval. Don't risk it — apply online well in advance.
Yellow fever certificate is mandatory
Uganda requires proof of yellow fever vaccination for all travellers. Get vaccinated at least 10 days before your trip and carry the certificate with your passport.
What happens at the border
1
Apply online before you travel
Go to https://visas.immigration.go.ug/ and create an account. Fill in the eVisa application with your personal details, passport information, and travel dates. Upload a passport-style photo and a scan of your passport bio page. Pay the fee with a credit or debit card. Processing usually takes a few working days, but apply at least two weeks before your flight to be safe.
2
Print your approval
Once approved, you'll get an email with a PDF. Print two copies — one for your travel folder and one for your carry-on. Airlines at Ljubljana or any connecting airport may ask to see it before letting you board.
3
Check in and fly
At check-in, show your passport and the printed eVisa approval. The airline will verify you have the right documents for Uganda. Keep your yellow fever certificate handy too — some airlines check it at check-in for Uganda-bound flights.
4
Arrive at Entebbe International Airport
On arrival in Kampala, follow signs to immigration. Join the line for visa holders (not the visa-on-arrival line). Hand over your passport and the printed approval. The officer will stamp your passport with the entry date and length of stay. Have your yellow fever certificate ready in case they ask.
5
Collect your bags and exit
After immigration, collect your luggage and go through customs. You may need to fill out a customs declaration form if you're carrying goods above the duty-free allowance. Then you're free to head into Kampala or onward.
