Comprehensive Fixing Services for Film Crews

Media Cards/Press Accreditation

Uganda Media Council mandates accreditation for foreign journalists and film crew members. Trek Africa Expeditions facilitates the acquisition of Media Cards on your behalf within 3-4 working days. Upon contact, we provide Form G, gathering necessary details required by Uganda Media Council. This form, along with two passport photos and a copy of each crew member’s passport, must be filled and returned via email to our office. For film durations exceeding one month, Media Card fees may vary. Leveraging our long-term relationship with Uganda Media Council, we streamline the process, ensuring efficiency. Contact us for Form G and initiate the media accreditation process.

Temporary Customs Kit Clearing

The Ugandan government mandates temporary clearance of filming equipment upon arrival at Entebbe International Airport. Trek Africa Expeditions simplifies this process by requesting your kit list, which is then sent to our specialist clearing agent for evaluation. After determining the associated costs, we advise you accordingly, allowing for payment in advance. On arrival, our clearing agent awaits you at immigration, guiding you through the necessary clearance procedures, minimizing unexpected delays and costs.

Visa for Film Crews

While film crews can obtain a Visa on arrival, Trek Africa Expeditions offers additional support to ease the process. We can assist in securing a Tourist Visa or Business Visa for Uganda on arrival or guide you on obtaining it from one of our embassies. Upon request, we provide a letter for presentation to any embassy, facilitating a smoother visa issuance process. Alternatively, crew members can secure a visa on arrival at Entebbe International Airport by paying USD50. For more information on obtaining a Visa for Uganda, reach out to Trek Africa Expeditions.
