What are the work-permit enforcement trends? While Ugandan authorities continue to issue Special Pass permits for short-term assignments of up to five months, they are no longer accepting Special Pass applications for employees intending to work in Uganda longer than five months. Additionally, authorities are increasingly scrutinizing and rejecting work permit applications that do not comply with Ugandan advertising rules.
The details:
Moving forward: Employers sponsoring foreign workers in Uganda will need to apply for a G2-class work permit prior to entry for all types of assignments and can no longer rely on approval of Special Passes for assignments longer than five months. Employers are on notice that advertising and training requirements are stringently enforced for all types of work permits, especially the G2-Class permit.
