Uganda has tightened its travel restrictions by barring most transit passengers who have recently visited the Democratic Republic of Congo, reflecting growing concerns over regional security. The move comes as part of broader efforts to control movement amid heightened risks in the area. Authorities have not specified exceptions, signaling a strict enforcement approach. Travelers planning routes through Uganda may need to reassess their plans due to the new policy.
Uganda will also not allow most travellers who have been in DR Congo to transit through the country.
