HOW A FOREIGNER CAN OBTAIN LAND IN UGANDA

FOREIGN  LAND OWNERSHIP IN UGANDA

Every being in the world would love to own land and be able to carry out a number of activities whether commercial, residential or agricultural. But this is not the case for all beings most especially those who are staying or living in a country where they were not born.

In Uganda, foreigners can buy property but there are rules and regulations that have to be followed for a foreigner to be able to own land in Uganda. 

For a foreigner to be able to own land in Uganda, there are certain legal procedures that have to be followed, an extra fee has to be paid during purchase with some taxes inclusive and accompanied by professional legal advice which is provided at Walisa Property Agency.

In Uganda, local invesors and Ugandan citizens can own land while foreign investors are restricted to long term leases usually from five to 99 years and they can either rent or lease from citizens or the Government of Uganda. The 1995 Constitution of Uganda grants land ownership rights solely to citizens of Uganda and foreigners cannot own land freehold. Foreign investors whether individual or cooperate cannot acquire land for the purpose of crop or animal production.

Foreigners can buy land or property for sale just like any other Ugandan but the difference is that they cannot own a private land title and freehold interest but only leasehold and the Ugandan law requires for acquisition of a private land title and if freehold, it should be owned by a Ugandan or a Ugandan company.  

This is just a snippet of foreign land ownership in Uganda but more information can be provided at Walisa Property Agency which includes legal professional advice which is sourced from our long years of hands on experience in the Ugandan Real estate Industry.
