The Uganda Passport is currently ranked Number 135T in the Nomad Capitalist Passport Index with a total score of 52.5. This ranking, relative to other passports, has been calculated by considering the government of Uganda’s approach not just to travel, but to international taxation laws, global perception, dual citizenship and personal freedom.
