It is not mandatory to print your Uganda eVisa approval letter, but it is strongly recommended.
What You Need to Know
Ugandan authorities can access your eVisa application electronically at the point of entry. However, carrying a printed copy of your approval letter can make the process smoother and faster. The barcode on the approval letter helps immigration officers quickly retrieve your application for final approval. While a digital copy may be accepted, relying on it alone could cause delays.
Our Recommendation
Always carry a printed copy of your Uganda eVisa approval letter along with your passport. If you applied through sherpa°, your approval letter will be sent to your email once approved. Print it as soon as you receive it to avoid last-minute stress.
A Quick Tip
Bring an extra printed copy in a separate bag, and keep a digital backup in your email or mobile device. This way, you’ll be covered if one copy is misplaced or damaged.
