The Uganda e-Visa for nationals of New Zealand must be applied for prior to the trip. This means that no time is wasted at immigration filling out visa forms — the e-Visa allows travelers to pass through border control with the least amount of waiting possible.

Visitors from New Zealand must apply online for their Uganda e-Visa. This is a quick and easy process that eliminates the need to apply at an embassy or consulate.

The entire process takes just a few minutes and involves completing a short application form online. New Zealanders must enter the required information into the relevant fields and attach the necessary supporting documents.

First, applicants from New Zealand have to provide their basic personal information, including:

• Full name
• Gender
• Date of birth
• Country/place of birth

They are then required to enter the following details from a valid New Zealand passport:

All applicants, including New Zealanders, must give their contact details, such as:

In accordance with the visa policy of Uganda, New Zealanders must answer a few quick questions about their health and travel history for security reasons.

They must also give some information about their trip to Uganda, including:

Applicants must comply with Uganda’s visa requirements for citizens of New Zealand.

When applying for any type of Uganda e-Visa, New Zealanders must attach the following documents as digital copies (scans):

• New Zealand passport (with a minimum validity of 6 months)
• Passport-style photo of the New Zealander

It is only necessary to scan the main page of the New Zealand passport (the page with the traveler’s image and information).

Besides these required documents, New Zealanders must also provide the following items to ensure that their application is processed correctly:

• Current email address (to receive the electronic visa)
