URA states foreign-registered vehicles may operate for up to 90 days on a temporary importation pass (Form C32); a media report adds that the 3‑month temporary importation form “cannot be extended,” implying exit or conversion to import after 90 days for tourists.
A Temporary Road License (TRL) is a document usually given to foreigners intending to come into Uganda with their foreign registered vehicles or Ugandans working abroad with valid work permits. ... With the TRL, a person is granted a maximum of 90 days and once they elapse, they are supposed to return to their countries. [Uganda Revenue Authority, official site. It is also issued as a temporary importation pass (Form C32). The URA text says nothing about extension — extension_possible left null. The Carnet de Passages is widely accepted in the East African Community, but the official text does not make it mandatory — carnet_required left null.]
