What comes next: permanent residence and citizenship

Route to permanent residence

Visa-free days do not lead to permanent residence. The permanent residence permit is issued by the State Registration Service: it asks for a certificate of a permanent source of income, medical certificates, a criminal record certificate and documents on housing.

Route to citizenship

Citizenship is granted after 5 years of permanent residence. Command of the state or the official language and lawful means of subsistence are also required.

Frequently asked questions about EAEU visa-free regime

Who may stay in Kyrgyzstan without a visa under this programme?

How many days may you stay in Kyrgyzstan without a visa?

Up to 90 days in total within each one-hundred-and-eighty-day (180-day) period from the date of entry into the country.

Does a national of an EAEU country need a work permit in Kyrgyzstan?

No. Under paragraph 5 of article 97 of the Treaty on the Eurasian Economic Union, nationals of the member states of the union work on the basis of an employment or a civil-law contract without obtaining permit documents.

How do the terms for EAEU nationals differ from the terms for nationals of Uzbekistan?
