Business, work or just passing through?

The rules above are for a holiday: tourism and visiting family and friends. Business visits, paid work and transit are covered separately below.

Business visits to Uganda

Not verified yet (not yet covered). We haven't verified the business rules for Kazakhstani passport holders, and we don't publish rules we haven't checked against an official source. A rule that is awaiting verification or not yet covered is not a negative visa decision: it only means we haven't confirmed it on an official source yet. Until then, see immigration.go.ug.

Visa-freeTransit (changing flights)

Airside transit generally without a visa (not from an official source)

Unofficial source – not verified

This rule is not from an official Uganda government source. It is based on a secondary reference source (dict.dyimin.com). Confirm with the embassy or the official immigration authority before you travel.

Not from an official Uganda government source: based on the World Visa Encyclopedia (dict.dyimin.com, an unofficial reference site), a single unofficial source. Not verified - conditions vary by airline and airport; confirm with your airline and the embassy before travel. The site says: “Conditions for Visa-Free Transit: A transit visa is not required if you do not go through immigration control, remain strictly within the international transit area, and continue your journey directly on a connecting flight from the same airport.”

Conditions

  • Stay in the international transit area (airside); do not pass immigration.
  • Check your airline allows it (through ticket and checked-through baggage).
