Work Visa Support

What it is

Foreign citizens who come to Kyrgyzstan to work usually need the right visa category in addition to permission to work. The work visa is closely linked to the employer and to the work permit procedure, so the documents of both the employee and the company have to fit together. Citizens of some countries, for example member states of the Eurasian Economic Union, generally follow simplified rules – it is important to check which regime applies to you.

Who needs it

• Foreign specialists who have received a job offer in Kyrgyzstan
• Companies in Kyrgyzstan that plan to hire foreign employees
• Foreign employees whose current visa or employer is changing

Requirements and processing times

Requirements, fees and processing times depend on your citizenship, your purpose of stay and the current regulations, which change from time to time. We will confirm the exact requirements after reviewing your documents.

Global Visa is a private consulting and document-support company. We do not issue visas or permits and cannot guarantee a positive decision – all decisions are made by the competent state authorities of the Kyrgyz Republic.
