Overview

Uzbekistan offers a residence permit to foreigners who purchase qualifying real estate at or above a set value. The threshold varies by region, with higher amounts in the capital and lower amounts in the regions. Buying property below the threshold is possible without a residence permit, but the residency benefit attaches only at or above the qualifying value. Good to know: foreigners can generally own buildings but not land directly, and the exact thresholds have changed over time - so we do not fix a figure here. This gives a residence footing tied to your property rather than to a job. Confirm the current thresholds and rules on the official my.gov.uz portal.

Eligibility

Typical criteria

Common blockers

Typical evidence

Application pathway

  1. Check the route fit

    Check the current qualifying value for the region where you intend to buy.

  2. Build the evidence pack

    Complete the qualifying property purchase and gather the ownership documents.

  3. Submit through the official channel

    Apply for the residence permit on the basis of the purchase through the official channel.

  4. After approval

    After approval, keep your residence permit valid and renew it in line with the rules.

After approval: prepare for your next step

For Residence through Qualifying Property Purchase, 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. Check whether employment, self-employment, remote work or study is permitted under the status granted. Do not infer unrestricted work rights from the absence of an employer sponsor.
  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.

Frequently asked questions

How much property do I need to buy to get residence?+

The qualifying value varies by region, with higher thresholds in the capital and lower ones in the regions, and the amounts have changed over time - so we do not state a fixed figure here. Buying below the threshold is possible but does not attach the residence benefit. Check the current regional value on the official my.gov.uz portal before you rely on any number.

Can foreigners own land in Uzbekistan?+

Generally no - foreigners can own buildings such as apartments and houses, but direct ownership of land is normally not permitted, including for foreign companies. The residence-through-property route is built around qualifying buildings rather than land. Confirm exactly what you can buy and what qualifies for residence on the official page.

Can I get residence in Uzbekistan by buying property instead of getting a job?+

Yes. This route ties a residence permit to purchasing qualifying property, giving a residence footing tied to your property rather than to a job, and it does not require employer sponsorship. The qualifying value varies by region and buying below the threshold does not attach the residence benefit, so check the current regional figure on the official my.gov.uz portal.
