How to check your Uganda application

Uganda applications submitted through the Electronic Visa/Permit system.

Step-by-step instructions

1. Open the official Uganda Electronic Visa/Permit website.
2. Use Applications, then Manage your application, as described by Uganda’s immigration authority.
3. Retrieve the application using the details requested by that official screen and read its communications alongside your application email.

Choose the correct application type

Use the application-management route for the pending request. Verification of an issued permission is a different task.

Information to keep ready

Keep your application acknowledgement, submission date, visa category and the name of the submitting office available. The official service determines which identifiers are required. Enter personal information only in that service; VisaWand does not need your passport number, login password or application reference.

If the record cannot be found

Compare the service and reference with your receipt and check the fields requested on the official screen. A technical error or missing result does not establish a decision. Follow the handling office’s help instructions if the record still cannot be retrieved.

After an update or decision

Read the actual notice and any document request, collection instruction or deadline. Passport movement, the validity of an issued permission and progress of a pending application are separate checks. Use the decision notice to confirm the outcome and next action.
