SCHENGEN VISA (EUROPEAN UNION SHORT TERM VISA)
Any Ugandan citizen intending to travel to Spain for less than 90 days needs to apply for the Schengen visa. This includes tourism, conferences, trade fairs and family or friends visits for a maximum of 90 days.
This visa can be issued by the French Embassy in Kampala or the Spanish Embassy in Nairobi and is a personal procedure (no one can apply on behalf of the applicant).
In collaboration with the Consular Section of the French Embassy, this Consulate can assist UG citizens in applying for the Schengen visa.
VERY IMPORTANT: this visa is approved or denied by the Spanish Embassy in Nairobi. The UG Consulate and the French Embassy in Kampala ONLY process and submit the visa application.
Spain has recently opened its borders to non-EU citizens and since June 7, Ugandans can apply for a Schengen visa with some conditions:
FAMILY REUNIFICATION VISA
This visa is requested by the foreign spouse and/or foreign children of a Spanish citizen. It is requested directly at the Spanish Embassy in Nairobi.
STUDY AND HEALTH VISAS
They are issued exclusively by the Spanish Embassy in Nairobi. Please contact the Consul for more information.
