Every year several thousand Ugandans travel to Western countries for short visits whose reasons include visiting family and friends, holidays, business trips, Health reasons, and attending conferences. In such cases, the visa applicant will be granted a temporary nonimmigrant "visitors" visa which typically expires after a six months period.

However, before you apply for this visa, there are some things you need to know first. Most countries assume that every applicant for a nonimmigrant visa is an intending immigrant. The burden is therefore on you to prove that you intend to leave the country at the end of your visit.

In order to do this, someone should show that the purpose of your trip is for the stated reasons ie. Business, Pleasure or Medical reasons which means you should have valid documentation to back up your claims.

Another important issue that you need to unequivocally prove is that you have enough funds to cover the duration of your trip. If you don't have sufficient funds, you are expected to provide evidence that another interested party will provide the financial cover. People carrying the Visitor's visa will not be expected to solicit or accept employment during their visit.
