Uzbekistan 'golden visa': five-year residence permit for a USD 250,000 payment (Presidential Decree PF-67 of 18 April 2025, para. 26)
Sells the right to live in the country (a “golden visa”), sometimes leading to citizenship later.
Payment of US$250,000 for a five-year residence permit, plus US$150,000 per family member, with no property to buy (Presidential Decree PF-67, para. 26, from 1 June 2025). The decree does not say who receives the money or whether it is refundable; it is treated here as a non-refundable payment. The Justice Ministry first announced US$200,000, then corrected it.
Notes from the research
From 1 June 2025 foreign citizens and stateless persons can get a five-year Uzbek residence permit (яшаш гувоҳномаси, вид на жительство) in a simplified procedure in return for payments of USD 250,000 for the applicant and USD 150,000 for each family member (spouse, child, parent), without buying property (Presidential Decree PF-67 of 18 April 2025, para. 26). launched is 1 June 2025, the date para. 26 itself sets; the decree took effect on signature/publication (para. 29). The Ministry of Justice first announced USD 200,000 and USD 100,000 and corrected this to the decree's amounts (Gazeta.uz, 1 May 2025). Who receives the payment and the application procedure were not found; whether the payment is refundable is not stated in para. 26 (read as a non-refundable payment, тўлов). A 10-year 'Golden visa' for large investors was already announced as a plan in Resolution PP-3836 of 4 July 2018 but no rules were found. Separate from the property-purchase residence permit of Decree UP-5611 (uzb-property-residence). No counts found.
