Pathways to Uzbekistan Residency and Citizenship

Uzbekistan

Covered routes include ordinary employer-supported work, university study, the IT Visa branches for qualifying specialists and approved IT Park founders, and the INV business-investment visa. The ordinary IT-specialist branch has a past-year income test; the founder branch requires an already approved IT Park resident company. A1 student status and three-year IT or investment visas are temporary permissions, not permanent residence.

See the Central Asia guide and regional comparison for the covered options and their limits.
