IFRE requires that you obtain a tourist visa prior to departure. Please phone our office or contact the local Uganda embassy to learn more about the proper steps in receiving a visa, visa fees, and visa extensions. You are solely responsibility for getting your visa. Obtaining a visa prior to departure saves time, any associated paperwork hassle and the long immigration lines at the airport – plus at-airport approval is not always guaranteed. Your visa supplements your passport and is your entry permit for Uganda – without which you may be denied access – a risk IFRE suggests avoiding at any and all costs.
Volunteers work with a tourist visa. Please use the name and address of our in-country coordinator and office (provided your personal placement sheet and in the Uganda pre-departure booklet) as a contact address in Uganda (for visa application purposes.)
The mission of IFRE Volunteers is to offer the most affordable as well as the highest quality volunteer and humanitarian abroad experiences - enabling us to make a contribution for all of humanity in its quest to make the world a better place. Through our volunteer and humanitarian trips abroad, we aim to spread love and compassion worldwide while improving the lives of destitute children and less-fortunate communities. We at IFRE also seek sustainable solutions in the fields of education, healthcare, conservation efforts and development issues through international volunteering.
