ENTRY INTO UGANDA

CODING
All people applying for entry/work permits, student passes and sponsored special passes must do
so using the organisational code of their institution. An organisational code is generated free of
charge at Immigration once the respective organisation brings the required information

STEP BY STEP PROCEDURES OF ORGANISATIONAL CODING
1.
Download a profiling form and the requirments for organisational coding from our website
at http://www.immigration.go.ug/forms-downloads. Alternatively you can get hard copies
of the profiling form and requirements from the photocopier at DCIC in case you are unable
to download them. The cost is 2,000/=
2.
Fill and complete the profiling form as well as the particulars of the Directors and save them
on a CD in Microsoft Word or Excel (soft copy)
3.
Scan and save the required documents for the relevant Class/Organisation/Institution in PDF
or JPEG format. Save them on the same CD as the profiling form and particulars of Directors.
4.
Deliver a complete CD with the profiling form and particulars of the Directors (in Microsoft
Word/Excel) as well as the required documents, scanned and saved in either a PDF or JPEG
format to the Immigration Head Offices on 75 Jinja Road.
5.
The CD is then handed over to the officers for verification and/or receiving. The client should
take a keen interest as this is being done.
6.
A submission form is filled in by the client if all the necessary information is available.
7.
The submission form (with the CD) is received by the immigration officers and a receiving
slip is then issued to the client.
8.
The code is sent by email (the email address you provided in the profiling form) to the client.
However, in case you have not received it in three days you must come to the PR office with
your receiving slip and it will be issued to you.
NOTE:
1. Only complete CD’s will be received. Where documents are lacking the required
information, the officers will advise you on the changes you should make upon which you
should then submit a revised CD with all the required information.
2. Where challenges or missing information is detected after receiving the CD, the client will
be contacted.
3. The Public Relations Office takes responsibility for only CD’s that are received and
registered by the Information Desk for which a duly signed receiving slip is issued.
