Summary

Uganda’s student pass lets students live in the country for their studies with support from the institution, which supplies an admission letter, current student ID, and supporting letter. The applicant also supplies evidence of tuition payment and the required personal records before relying on the pass for the study stay.

Published student-pass categories cover three, six, or twelve months. The chosen period and any renewal should match the actual course and continuing enrollment, rather than being assumed from the tuition payment alone.
