Securing your 2026 entry authorization involves a mandatory digital transaction through the Uganda eVisa Fees portal. This financial settlement is the definitive step that triggers the manual audit of your application by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Under the 2026 fiscal guidelines, all payments must be executed via the secure e-Immigration gateway using internationally recognized credit or debit cards. It is an established administrative standard that all fees are non-refundable, regardless of the application's final determination or any subsequent changes to your travel plans. Additionally, every transaction is subject to a standard bank processing surcharge. Successfully completing this electronic settlement ensures your file is moved into the vetting queue, facilitating the eventual issuance of your barcoded Approval Letter.
