Summary
If a qualifying employer hires you in Kyrgyzstan, it can apply for a Unified Permit through the official eVisa system. This electronic document combines your work visa, the employer’s permission to hire foreign workers, and your own work permit.
The employer must register and obtain approval. Opening an account or submitting an application is not permission to start work.
Eligibility
You need a real job and an employer eligible to hire you. The employer prepares the required company and employment records through the official service.
Confirm the current identity, labor, medical, and qualification documents needed for your role. Some applicants are covered by international-agreement exemptions and must check their applicable process separately.
-
Confirm the job and hiring process The employer checks eligibility and any applicable exemption.
-
Have the employer submit the application Provide the required company, employment, and personal records.
-
Check the issued permit before starting Follow the approved work, registration, and renewal conditions.
Employer registration and a pending application do not replace an issued approval.
What This Route Allows
The issued permit combines the three approvals and has a QR code for verification. It authorizes only the employer, work, and period stated in the approval.
Check those details before starting and complete any required registration and renewal steps on time.
What This Route Is Not
A business or visitor visa does not authorize the job. The Unified Permit is not an open work permission or permanent residence.
Not every nationality follows the same labor process. Ask the employer to check any applicable treaty exemption rather than assuming the ordinary application always applies.
Next Steps
- Have the employer confirm the correct hiring process and whether any exemption applies.
- Ask it to register and prepare the company, job, and applicant records.
- Obtain the issued permit before starting the covered work. Check the approved details and track registration and renewal deadlines.
