Taiwan has lifted visa restrictions for residents of Uganda, allowing visa applications to resume effective August 28, 2026.  

However, visa issuance for residents of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) remains suspended through November 28, 2026, due to ongoing Ebola-related public health measures.
