Immigration Law
Work permits, visas, and residence permits in UzbekistanWe help international companies and their employees navigate Uzbekistan's immigration requirements — obtaining work permits, arranging residence permits, and ensuring ongoing compliance with Uzbek migration law.
As Uzbekistan attracts growing foreign investment, the number of foreign professionals working in the country continues to rise. Our immigration practice provides practical, end-to-end support — from the initial work permit application through annual renewals and any regulatory complications that arise along the way.
We work directly with the Ministry of Employment and Labour Relations, migration authorities, and other relevant bodies on behalf of our clients, handling all documentation and correspondence. Our goal is to remove the immigration burden from HR teams so that foreign employees can focus on their work from day one.
