How to Apply for Press Accreditation in Uganda? – Guidelines for Securing Press Accreditation in Uganda

When contemplating how to apply for press accreditation in Uganda, Trek Africa Expeditions emerges as a crucial ally, streamlining the intricate process for production and TV companies. Our comprehensive services extend beyond press accreditation to encompass vital aspects such as accommodation, transport, filming contracts, permissions, and kit clearing services. We prioritize ensuring that your film crew members secure the requisite accreditation to facilitate a seamless shooting experience in Uganda.

Our collaborative approach involves partnering with the Uganda Media Council, the authority responsible for issuing Media Cards and Press Accreditation to journalists and film crews. As a film crew member, obtaining Media Cards is imperative, and Trek Africa Expeditions simplifies this by furnishing you with FORM G, a mandatory document for press accreditation in Uganda.

Press accreditation costs, determined by the duration of your shoot in Uganda, are efficiently handled through our coordination with the Uganda Media Council. To provide accurate guidance, it is essential for you to communicate the anticipated duration of your stay in Uganda, allowing us to liaise effectively with the media council on your behalf.

Media Card Processing in Uganda – Facilitating Seamless Operations

Trek Africa Expeditions takes charge of Media Card processing for film crew members engaged in filming or photography endeavors in Uganda. Leveraging our longstanding and favorable relationship with the Uganda Media Council, we expedite the process, ensuring that your Media Cards are ready within three to four working days.

Media Card processing stands as a prerequisite for all film crews in Uganda, offering flexibility with options for one month or more, aligning with the intended duration of your shoot. Typically, teams spanning one to three months necessitate the acquisition of a Media Card.

Upon dispatching FORM G to be completed by each crew member, we initiate the processing of Media Cards through the Uganda Media Council. The information provided in FORM G serves as the basis for this process. Additionally, you will be required to draft a letter addressed to the Uganda Media Council, elucidating your identity, professional scope, the nature of your filming project in Uganda, and how it contributes to the country’s development. This letter, drafted on your company’s letterhead, is then submitted to us for delivery to the Uganda Media Council.

Accompanying the letter, the Uganda Media Council mandates the submission of one passport-sized photograph for each individual, integral to the incorporation of individual photographs on the issued Media Cards. Trek Africa Expeditions efficiently manages these requirements to facilitate a smooth and expedited press accreditation process in Uganda.
