Who is exempt from a work permit in Uzbekistan?

Question

Accepted Answer

Founders for three months, large investors outright, and anyone working from abroad. 3 months Founders — founders of foreign and joint-venture enterprises may work without permit or confirmation for up to three months. 8,500 BCV Investors — investment of 8,500 BCV or more in shares of Uzbek companies removes the permitting procedure entirely, for any position in that organisation. Abroad Remote workers — people working for an Uzbek company remotely from outside the country need neither document. No test Qualified categories — highly qualified and qualified specialists skip the employer permit and the labour-market test; the personal confirmation remains. The exemptions map to how the state wants capital and talent to arrive. A founder of a foreign or joint enterprise works freely for up to three months — enough to open the account, hire and set the company running. An investor whose stake reaches 8,500 BCV works in that organisation in any role with no permitting procedure at all. Remote workers abroad are outside the system entirely. And the qualified categories keep only the personal confirmation, dropping the employer permit and the labour-market test that comes with it.
