Quick answer: A checked single-entry Uganda eVisa application totals US$117 — US$55 government fee + US$62 service fee. The East Africa Visa totals US$169 ($108 + $61), and multiple-entry visas run US$162–$262 checked depending on the 6–12, 24 or 36-month tier. Fees are category-specific, non-refundable, and paid online.
Uganda has no universal visa fee — the cost follows the category you select in the application (tourism, family visit, medical treatment, conference, transit, East Africa or multiple-entry). There are also no visas issued on arrival, so every traveler pays online before departure. The two numbers that decide your total are the government fee and the service fee for applying with expert checking of your form and documents.

What the Two Fees Cover
Government fee
The visa charge set by Uganda's immigration authorities for the category — US$55 for standard single-entry, US$108 for the East Africa Visa, and US$100/US$150/US$200 for multiple-entry tiers. It is remitted with your application and never refunded.
Service fee
US$62 for single and multiple-entry, US$61 for the East Africa Visa. It covers expert checking of the form and attachments — the mistakes that cause avoidable refusals — routing, and support until the approved visa is delivered.
Before you pay: review every field in the form and each attachment. Fees are non-refundable even when an application is refused — the fee pays for processing, not for guaranteeing approval. Paying does not start a re-do at zero cost, so a checked submission is the cheaper path in practice.
Uganda Visa Fees FAQs
How much does a Uganda visa cost?
For the standard single-entry purposes — tourism, family visit, medical treatment, conference, business meetings and other — the government fee is US$55 and the expert-checking service fee is US$62, so a checked application totals US$117. The fees depend on the category selected in the application, so confirm the cost before paying.
How much is the East Africa Visa from Uganda?
The East Africa Visa carries a US$108 government fee, and applying with expert checking adds a US$61 service fee — a total of US$169. It covers one continuous trip through Uganda, Kenya and Rwanda, which makes it cheaper than stacking three separate single-entry applications.
What does the Uganda Multiple Entry Visa cost?
Multiple-entry government fees are tiered by validity: US$100 for 6 to 12 months, US$150 for 24 months and US$200 for 36 months. The US$62 service fee applies on top, so checked applications total US$162, US$212 and US$262 respectively.
Are Uganda visa fees refundable?
No. Visa fees are non-refundable — including when an application is refused or withdrawn — and payments are subject to the payment provider's processing charge. Review every field and attachment before submitting, because the fee does not guarantee approval.
How do I pay the Uganda eVisa fee?
Payment is made online by credit or debit card or through other accepted payment methods, including PayPal and cryptocurrency options shown at checkout. The application is only submitted for processing once the payment clears.
