According to the official website of the Directorate of Citizenship and Immigration Control of Uganda, it takes 2 working days for an express passport to be issued to the applicant.
Unlike regular passports that take up to 10 working days, express takes 2 days only, thus being different. Once you have paid the 250,000/= normal fees plus 150,000/= express process fee and handed in your application at the appointment date, you only have to wait for 2 days in order for your Uganda travel document to be given to you.
