Filming in Uganda-equipment clearance, all permits.

Clearance of filming equipment, Ugandan film crew fixers, Filming permissions, sometimes known as Uganda filming permits, are necessary in all shooting locations, including Uganda itself. These licenses are essentially press credentials in the form of media cards and a letter of approval from the Uganda media council.

Production companies and film crews are now free to shoot wherever in Uganda they choose thanks to this. The Uganda Media Council and any other relevant shooting venues may be contacted via Monumental Expeditions and Safaris for assistance in obtaining the necessary filming permissions.

Entebbe International Airport’s customs processing process

All film teams bringing equipment into Uganda are required to temporarily clear it at immigration upon arrival. This may be a hassle and can wind up costing a pretty penny. At Monumental Expeditions and Safaris, we work with professional clearance agencies.

Each time you provide us a kit list, we transmit it to them for review. Once we determine how much it would cost to get the kit approved into the nation, it is often a percentage of the total price of all your equipment. After we provide you our professional advice, you may prepay. Our clearance agent will be at immigration to meet you when you arrive and guide you through the process.
