Curious about whether foreigners can buy land in Uganda? The answer is yes, but there are regulations to consider. The Land Act of 1998, along with subsequent amendments, governs land ownership in Uganda. Here’s what you need to know:

1. Leasehold Tenure: Foreigners can acquire land on a leasehold basis, granting the right to use the land for a specific period, typically 49 or 99 years.
2. Freehold Tenure: Foreigners cannot own land on a freehold basis, which is reserved for Ugandan citizens.
3. Eligible Land: Foreigners are restricted from owning Mailo land, but they can obtain leasehold interests in such land.
4. Approval Process: Foreigners must seek approval from the Uganda Land Commission, submitting necessary documents like a passport, investment plan, and proof of funds.
5. Exemptions: Certain categories of foreigners, such as diplomatic missions and registered companies, may have exemptions or special provisions.
