Dear Sir/Madam,

Re: WEBUY GLOBAL LTD (the “Company”)

We have acted as special Cayman Islands legal counsel to the Company in connection with a registration statement on Form F-1 (the “Additional Registration Statement”, which term does not include any other document or agreement whether or not specifically referred to therein or attached as an exhibit or schedule thereto) filed pursuant to Rule 462(b) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) by the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on 18 October 2023, which is related to, and incorporates by reference, the Company’s registration statement on Form F-1 (File No. 333-271604), initially filed on 3 May 2023 and as amended on 16 May 2023, 2 June 2023, 16 June 2023, 3 August 2023 and 25 September 2023 (the “Registration Statement”, which term does not include any other document or agreement whether or not specifically referred to therein or attached as an exhibit or schedule thereto) relating to the registration under the Securities Act of ordinary shares of a par value US$0.000000385 each (the “Ordinary Shares”) of the Company.

The Additional Registration Statement relates to the registration of an additional 300,000 Ordinary Shares to be offered and sold by the Company in the offering and an additional 45,000 Ordinary Shares that may be issuable by the Company upon the exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option (together, the “Additional Shares”), in addition to the Ordinary Shares registered in the Registration Statement.
