Forget about Kampala, no resident, no visa, tried it very hard ! Got it there in the end, but that involved sending off my passport to germany, being denied there cos I wasnt there personally, passport being sent back to Uganda without visa, a big nightmare of communication and finally the ethiopian ambassador in germany got me the letter Addis Abbaba had send to Kampala to authorize them to give me a visa. Kampala insisted that they never got that letter ! Ethiopian burocracy can be worse than egyptian, thats what plenty of people acctually living there told me. Don´t drive to Kampala for that visa, you will spend more money on fuel, accomodation and food than it would cost you to dhl your passports home, these guys are more than unfriendly and love to let you wait, I waisted more than 1 month because of them ...
greetings from Nairobi,
Chris
