Several
Ugandans now live in China. Every year even larger numbers
come to trade, visit, and study in different parts of China.
Information on this part of the Embassy web site is for the benefit
of Ugandans living in China.
Consular staff will do everything they properly can to help Uganda
citizens in difficulty in China. This website explains some of the
things that we can do to help - and some of the things we can't do.

Welcome to your embassy, your home away from home. We are here to serve
you by providing you with accurate information from home, and to
help you with the formalities of renewing or replacing your Ugandan
travel documents. Please, give us a call, or drop us a line once in
a while.

APPLYING FOR A UGANDA
PASSPORT:
FIRST-TIME APPLICANTS ONLY
|
|
There are two categories
of first-time applicants, and the requirements will vary slightly with
each category. One category is that of individuals who are responsible
adults and have never applied for or been issued a Uganda Passport.
The second category is that of individuals who, by virtue of being
minors, have been previously listed on their legal guardians'
passports. Upon attaining the age of 16 (Sixteen), these young adults
qualify as first-time applicants for their own passports.
First-time applicants for a
Uganda Passport must establish, beyond any doubt, that they are
Citizens of Uganda. They must provide documentary proof of their claim
to the status of Uganda Citizen. This citizenship status must have
been acquired in one of three ways: by birth, by descent, by
naturalization, and by registration.
All applications for new
passports are processed by the Passport Office, in Kampala. Applicants
are advised to provide all the necessary information on all the forms
that have to be filled; without forgetting the documentation that the
procedure demands. Failure to comply with all the requirements of the
process will result in unnecessary delay and possible denial of the
passport. All the forms needed to expedite the process are available
at the Embassy. |

of issue on a separate piece of paper and keep this information in a
different place. In the unfortunate event of its getting lost, it is
your obligation to report the loss to the local authorities, without
