No yellow-fever certificate is required to enter Uganda
Uganda’s immigration authority says travelers do not need a Yellow Fever Vaccination Certificate to enter. This is an entry-document rule, not a vaccination recommendation: Australian travel advice recommends vaccination for protection and notes that airlines or later destinations may have separate certificate requirements.

Uganda entry questions
Do Fijian citizens need a visa for Uganda?
For tourism in Uganda, ordinary passport holders from Fiji do not need a visa for up to 90 days per visit.
How long can I stay in Uganda?
The short-visit limit is 90 days per visit. Your actual permission can be shorter; check the dates and conditions you receive.
What if I’m going to work, study or stay longer?
This guide is for a short tourist visit on an ordinary passport. It does not establish eligibility for employment, study or residence. Use the destination’s official guidance for your actual purpose.
Does my country of residence change the answer?
Passport nationality and legal residence are different. This page starts with your passport. Residence can change where you apply and which application channel is available; an existing visa or residence permit may also create an exception. Check the official eligibility guidance for your circumstances.
