Thailand lifts Ebola danger zone for Uganda
The Ministry of Public Health has revoked the designation of Uganda as a dangerous communicable disease zone for Ebola, effective 19 September 2026. This follows the World Health Organization's declaration that Uganda is Ebola-free as of 27 August 2026. Expats traveling from Uganda to Thailand will no longer be subject to the previous health screening requirements.
What this means for you
- Travellers arriving in Thailand from Uganda no longer come from a designated Ebola danger zone; the Democratic Republic of the Congo was not removed by this notice.
- The change took effect on 19 September 2026.
