Immigration Services in Uzbekistan — Work Permits & Visas

World Immigration Hub provides expert assistance to individuals, professionals, and businesses seeking work permits and visas for Uzbekistan. With up-to-date knowledge drawn from official sources such as WPK, we guide you through every requirement so that your relocation or business plans are successful and fully compliant with local law.

Work Permits in Uzbekistan

Foreign citizens who wish to work in Uzbekistan require a work permit or confirmation. The permit allows the employer to hire foreign labor, while the confirmation allows the foreign citizen to legally work in Uzbekistan. Foreign workers in specialized or highly demanded fields must obtain confirmation, while employers must obtain a permit to hire foreign employees.

There are different categories of foreign workers, each with specific requirements regarding education, experience, and salary levels. Highly qualified specialists, for example, must have a top-ranked university degree and at least five years of relevant experience. Qualified specialists and other workers have different thresholds for eligibility. Work permits and confirmations are valid for up to three years, depending on the category, and can be extended as necessary.

Certain exceptions exist for investors, diplomats, accredited NGOs, and specific specialists, who may not require a permit or confirmation. Employers are obligated to maintain proper work records and may face fines if regulations are violated.

Visas to Uzbekistan

World Immigration Hub assists clients in obtaining the appropriate visa type based on their purpose of stay in Uzbekistan. Main visa categories include:

• Investment Visa: For investors contributing above a set threshold. Valid up to three years with options for extension. Families can accompany the investor under guest visas.
• Work Visa: Issued based on the employer’s confirmation of employment. The visa period corresponds to the validity of the work confirmation.
• Business Visas: For employees of accredited foreign organizations or temporary business visitors.
• IT Visa: Designed for tech professionals with a recommendation from the IT Park Directorate.
• Guest Visa: For individuals invited by local entities or citizens, typically valid up to one year.
• Tourist Visa: Usually issued for up to one month for tourism purposes, requiring an invitation from a licensed travel agency.
• Transit Visa: For travelers passing through Uzbekistan, with limited stay duration.
• Exit Visa: For those whose entry visas have expired but have not yet departed Uzbekistan.
