Do I need to register my passport and fingerprints to activate SouthESIM in Uganda?

Updated April 22, 2026

One of the biggest advantages of choosing SouthESIM for your Ugandan adventure is the simplicity. Unlike purchasing a local physical SIM card at places like Entebbe (EBB) Airport, which often involves a mandatory, time-consuming biometric (fingerprint) and passport registration process, our eSIM requires absolutely no such registration. You can activate your SouthESIM plan digitally and be connected almost instantly, letting you dive straight into exploring Kampala or planning your safari without any bureaucratic delays.
