Application pathway

  1. Check the route fit

    Decide whether category C investor or MOI free-economic-zone treatment fits the activity.

  2. Build the evidence pack

    Collect the official investment, capital, bank, tax, statistics or free-zone evidence.

  3. Submit through the official channel

    Coordinate with the relevant Tajik authority or free-zone administration for the official request.

  4. After approval

    Apply through the Main Consular Department, foreign mission or MFA representation as directed by the official page.

After approval: prepare for your next step

For Investor Visa Categories C and MOI, use the actual decision and the issuing authority’s instructions to establish what has been granted. A successful application, permission to enter, permission to work and a residence document are not interchangeable.

  1. 1. Check the decision. Confirm the name, passport, status granted, start date and any next action. Resolve an error with the authority before relying on the document for travel or employment.
  2. 2. Establish the travel step. Read any entry window, activation, collection or in-country registration instruction. For an extension or change of status, do not assume leaving the country is required or safe while a further step remains pending.
  3. 3. Confirm what you may do. Agree the lawful start date and onboarding with the employer or sponsor. Check whether the permission names an employer, role or activity before changing the arrangement.
  4. 4. Organise the household. Check each accompanying person’s permission separately, then arrange healthcare, accommodation, access to money and the relevant local registrations. A tax number or bank account does not by itself prove a right to work.
  5. 5. Keep the ongoing conditions visible. Record the actual expiry, renewal process, permitted absences and any duty to report changes. An initial grant does not automatically establish permanent residence or citizenship.
