Are there any current statistics on the average time it takes to pass Ugandan immigration at Entebbe airport when requiring a visa on arrival?



Best Answer

It depends a bit on which flight you will arrive from. If you travel Economy on a big airplane (KLM or British Airways) it can take longer than if you come with the smaller Kenya Airways flight from Nairobi. Though for the prominent carriers, immigration typically makes more staff available to handle arrivals.

From my own experience (I've flown in to Entebbe perhaps two dozen times in the past few years), it's unlikely to take you more than 15 minutes, on average.
