𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐇𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐃𝐢𝐚𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐚 𝐔𝐧𝐢𝐭 𝐅𝐚𝐜𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬 𝐒𝐚𝐟𝐞 𝐑𝐞𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐅𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐔𝐠𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐧𝐬 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐈𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐚 On Wednesday evening, January 28, 2026, the Deputy Head of the State House Diaspora Unit, Mr. @HenryWabyona, accompanied by Mr @TopherMatsiko, the Liaison officer, received four Ugandan nationals, two adult women and two children, who safely returned home from India after more than a decade of distress and prolonged stay. The returnees are Ms Fiona Namuddu, Ms Rebecca Nakasaga, and two children aged eight and four years. They are among Ugandans who benefited from an Amnesty Scheme announced by the Government of India for foreign nationals who had overstayed their visas. The scheme allows affected individuals to exit India using an Expedited Exit Permit (EEP) without financial penalties during the period from 1st September 2025 to 28th February 2026. Through the intervention of the State House Diaspora Unit, working in close coordination with the Uganda High Commission in India (@UGHighCommND), the necessary travel documentation was secured and air tickets were facilitated to enable their safe return to Uganda. According to Mr Wabyona, “This is a humanitarian intervention aimed at restoring dignity, reuniting families, and giving our fellow citizens a fresh start in life. The two children, who were born in India, have not had access to formal education due to the circumstances they faced abroad. Government will work with relevant institutions and partners to explore appropriate support mechanisms for their reintegration.” This exercise demonstrates @GovUganda commitment to the welfare of Ugandans wherever they are. It also reflects the strong cooperation between Uganda and India in addressing migration and consular challenges. The mandate of the @StateHouseUg Diaspora Unit is to ensure that every Ugandan abroad is safe, visible, connected, engaged and empowered. Ugandans facing distress while abroad are encouraged to reach out to their respective missions or to the State House Diaspora Unit for guidance and support. Mr Wabyona thanked His Excellency President @KagutaMuseveni, the Uganda High Commission in India, and all partners who contributed to this successful return.
