A Philippine passport holder can apply for a visa upon arrival in Uganda international airport or major land borders.

Note that if you are visiting two or all of the following countries: Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda- it is best to acquire the Class T12 East Africa Tourist Visa. This is a joint tourist visa that entitles holders to travel to and within the Republic of Kenya, the Republic of Rwanda and the Republic of Uganda for tourism.
