Does Uganda have a digital nomad visa?
No — Uganda does not run a dedicated digital-nomad visa. Long-term stays generally go through a work-, study- or family-based permit, and the route is a moderate lift for a typical non-citizen mover.
The detail that matters: No DNV; work permit/residence classes (business-friendly). Residents taxed worldwide, top 40%.
Tax for foreign residents in Uganda
For a foreign earner, Uganda's income is treated moderately. The country taxes residents on worldwide income once you cross the residency threshold, with a headline top personal rate around 40%. This is general information, not tax advice — confirm your own situation with a cross-border professional before you move.
From visa to permanent residency
If you're thinking past a year or two, check whether the stay builds toward settlement: in Uganda, permanent residency is reachable after about 10 years of residence. Naturalization typically comes after roughly 10 years. Immigration rules change often, so treat these as directional and verify the current policy with official sources.
Healthcare and insurance
Healthcare access for a foreigner in Uganda is harder to access. A mid-tier private health plan runs roughly $80 a month — most long-stay visas require proof of cover.
