Set up a company and get visas in Uzbekistan with a local consultant who speaks Chinese

I work in Tashkent, handling company registration, bank accounts, work permits, work visas, residence registration and annual renewals for Chinese companies and individuals. From the first document to a running business, everything is handled in Chinese. I have already registered more than 50 Chinese companies in Uzbekistan.

Full company setup from $1,200, including the director's work permit and work visa. Government fees not included.

From arriving in Tashkent to running your business
  1. Company registration Choose the company type, prepare and legalise documents, register
  2. Bank account Open sum and foreign-currency accounts, get a digital signature
  3. Work permit For the director and foreign employees
  4. Work visa Issued on the basis of the work permit
  5. Residence registration At your actual address, as the rules require
  6. Annual renewals Reminders before expiry, renewed on time

I handle and follow up every stop myself. The actual order depends on your case; we set it out in our first conversation.

Why a local, Chinese-speaking consultant

Direct communication in Chinese

Your questions are answered in Chinese by the person doing the work, with no interpreter in between and nothing lost in translation.

Knows the local process

I know what offices and banks actually ask for, so documents are prepared right the first time.

One person from start to finish

The same person follows your case from registration to every annual renewal, so you never have to explain things twice.

Prices agreed up front

The service fee is fixed before we start; government fees are itemised at official rates and charged at cost.

FAQ

Do Chinese citizens need a visa for Uzbekistan?

Since 1 June 2025, Chinese citizens with a valid passport can enter Uzbekistan visa-free for up to 30 days per visit and no more than 90 days in any 180-day period. Visa-free entry does not cover work, study, journalism or other activities that need prior approval. If you plan to hold a position or be employed locally, you need a work permit and a work visa.

Can a foreigner own 100% of a company in Uzbekistan?

Generally yes. A foreign individual or company can be the sole shareholder of a limited liability company. Licensed sectors such as banking and insurance have extra requirements and need to be assessed separately.

Do I have to come to Uzbekistan in person to register a company?

Not necessarily. I can register the company for you under a notarised and apostilled power of attorney. The director usually has to be present in person to open the bank account and get the electronic digital signature; some banks also accept a notarised power of attorney or video verification, and I check with the bank in advance. The company applies for the work permit online, so no visit to a government office is needed.

How long does company registration take?

With all documents ready, the registration itself usually takes 1–2 working days. Including the bank account, work permit and work visa, the whole process usually takes 6–8 weeks. Time for legalising and translating parent-company documents in China comes on top.
