Limits of the record- Searched the long-stay page body for the name of the status granted; "Certificate of Residence" appears only in site navigation/URL, not in the page text. Not derived from the menu.
02What qualifying residence period is required and when does the period begin?
The status is issued to a person who has continuously lived in Uganda for 10 years (and has contributed to Uganda’s socio-economic development). The official source does not state when the 10-year period begins.
