CR. Amanya Advocates guides foreign nationals, expatriate staff and the employers who bring them here through Uganda’s immigration and employment regimes — two bodies of law that meet on the same desk the moment a business hires from abroad.
On immigration we process entry permits, work permits, dependants’ passes and certificates of residence, obtain passports and dual citizenship, recover security bond deposits and NSSF contributions when permit holders leave the country, and defend clients before the Directorate of Citizenship & Immigration Control where applications are refused or permits cancelled. On employment the firm is trusted by property developers, insurance companies and other large employers to build their internal human-resource frameworks — organograms, contracts and HR policies — and to carry matters through redundancy, restructuring and Industrial Court representation where they escalate.

The instruction differs; the standard does not. Every engagement is scoped in writing and led by an advocate — with an honest and realistic evaluation of your status, or of your exposure as an employer, before any decision is made.
