Visa to enter the country?

Hello-

I will be traveling to Uganda soon for an adoption. I will be living one year there. The internet says one must apply for a Visa聽 beforehand and have it in hand to enter the country. My adoption agency says you can obtain a Visa at the airport upon entry.聽 Can anyone enlighten me? If one must obtain it FIRST (via internet) then how does one do 'Visa runs' when the Visa expires after 3 months? Please advise, thanks!!! Most countries just issue the Visa upon arrival. But I don't want to get stuck without.

Although in theory all Ugandan tourist visas must be applied for in advance online 鈥� and paid for online since May 2017 鈥� you can still apply in person at Entebbe Airport.

I have written extensively about this on my blog Diary of a Muzungu. See comments too.
