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.
Do your prices include government fees?
No. Government fees are charged at official rates. I list them before we start, and you pay the actual amount with no mark-up.
My company is already registered. Can I order renewals only?
Yes. Visa and work permit renewals can be ordered separately, from $200 each. If you have several employees or want peace of mind, the monthly retainer covers tracking and reminders for every document.
How do I pay?
Before we start, we sign a service agreement setting out the scope, price and timeline. The service fee is paid in stages; the payment method is agreed in the contract.
Can you help find local partners or suppliers?
Yes. I can find and screen partners, suppliers or distributors in Uzbekistan for your needs and run background checks before you make contact. This is quoted per project, and we sign a confidentiality and non-circumvention agreement before starting.
