Uganda Visa For Cape Verdean Citizens - Requirements And Fees

Cape Verde citizens planning a trip to Uganda need to secure a Uganda e-visa before their arrival. Uganda does not grant visas upon arrival, therefore, Cape Verdean travelers need to apply for an e-visa well in advance of their planned travel dates.

We strongly suggest that all Cape Verde citizens carefully check the Uganda e-visa requirements and other related visa services on our website or reach out to us directly for any further inquiries. Our dedicated service is always available to assist you with any visa-related concerns or services you request.

As of now, the Government of Uganda does not offer visas on arrival for any nationality, including Cape Verde citizens. Therefore, Cape Verdean travelers must apply for an e-visa before their departure to Uganda.
