Kampala×Vladivostok
Three numbers. The ones that decide the meeting.
When the world meets at work.
Read the day in both zones.
Crossing the border. Money, language, plugs.
Money changes hands at the border: Kampala uses the UGX (Sh) and Vladivostok uses the RUB (₽). Language shifts too — English in Kampala, Russian in Vladivostok. Be careful behind the wheel: Kampala drives on the left, Vladivostok on the right.

What's the time difference between Kampala and Vladivostok?
Kampala is 7 hours ahead of Vladivostok. Kampala runs on GMT+3 and Vladivostok on GMT+10. The gap can shift by an hour when either side enters or leaves daylight saving — the live clocks above always reflect the current offset.

There are 1 hour where both cities are inside a 09:00–17:00 workday. Aim for the middle of that window so neither side is starting or closing out.

Yes, if either city observes DST. When one side shifts and the other doesn't, the gap changes by one hour. The DST badges under each clock show whether each zone is currently shifted and when the next transition lands.
