Work Permit & Visa for Foreign Investors in Uzbekistan<\/h1>\n

Bond Stone manages work permits and visa support for foreign directors, executives, and investors operating in Uzbekistan \u2014 including Director work permits for \u041c\u0427\u0416 and \u0410\u041e formations, investor visas, and business visa support for market entry.<\/p>\n

Unlike Kazakhstan \u2014 where the Director of a 100% foreign-owned TOO may work without a separate work permit \u2014 Uzbekistan requires a foreign Director of a Uzbek \u041c\u0427\u0416 or \u0410\u041e to obtain a work permit before assuming the role. This is one of the most frequently overlooked compliance requirements for foreign investors entering Uzbekistan, and Bond Stone manages it as a standard component of every company formation mandate.<\/p>\n

Governed by: Law of the Republic of Uzbekistan “On External Labour Migration” No. ZRU-390 dated 23 February 2015 (as amended); Labour Code of the Republic of Uzbekistan; Law No. ZRU-598 dated 25 December 2019 “On Investments and Investment Activity.” Authority: lex.uz<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

Critical rule \u2014 work permit before appointment<\/p>\n

A foreign national must obtain a work permit from the Agency for External Labour Migration before being appointed as Director (executive body) of a Uzbek company. Appointment without a valid work permit is an administrative violation \u2014 the Director cannot legally execute documents, open bank accounts, or represent the company before state authorities until the permit is in hand. Supervisory board members (non-executive) and participants (shareholders) do not require a work permit for their roles as such.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
