Can I travel to Uganda for a business meeting?
A business visitor route may cover meetings, consultations or commercial visits when the application and supporting evidence describe the real activity. An invitation or business letter may be requested. Employment, hands-on service delivery and paid work can require a different permission.
Use this page to organise the correct passport, purpose, documents and timing. Current visa rules, eligibility and entry conditions can change, so review the destination’s current visa platform before payment or travel.

- Do not label employment as a business visit.
- A business visa is not a residence permit.
