"$50,000" and "7 years to PR" — not confirmed by the 2025 law

Category C Investor Visa
Tajikistan

The new Investment Law No. 2173 (14 May 2025) introduces two tiers: from $500,000 for a visa up to 3 years, from $1,000,000 for a visa up to 5 years. This CONTRADICTS figures found in some sources — "$50,000" as an entry threshold and a claimed "7-year path to PR" — neither of which the law confirms.

The 2025 law vs. commonly cited figures

The new law took effect on 14 May 2025 and doesn't directly confirm two figures still found in some materials about Tajikistan.

What the process consists of

The government fee scales with the tier — a longer visa costs more to process, not just more to invest.

How the process runs

A good fit if

You're ready to invest from $500,000, maintained for the visa's full term, with personal managerial involvement.
You're considering the $1 million+ tier for a longer, up-to-5-year visa.
You're not counting on an automatic path to PR or citizenship — the law doesn't currently describe one.
You value the 15-year investment-stability guarantee introduced by the new law.

A poor fit if

You're working off the commonly cited "$50,000" entry figure — under the new 2025 law thresholds start at $500,000.
You're counting on a confirmed 7-year path to PR — per the available data the law doesn't officially describe one.
You're not prepared for personal managerial involvement in the business — a legal requirement, not a recommendation.
You want a long-established, well-tested programme — the law only took effect in May 2025, less than a year and a half ago.

Frequent questions

Is it really possible to enter for $50,000?

Per the available data — no; a more detailed legal source on the current Law No. 2173 (2025) does not confirm that commonly cited figure: thresholds start at $500,000.

Is there a confirmed 7-year path to PR?

No — per the available data no confirmed official path from the Category C investor visa to permanent residence or Tajik citizenship currently exists.

What's the difference between $500,000 and $1 million?

Per the available data, the difference is in the visa term — up to 3 years at $500,000 or up to 5 years at $1 million and above — and the government fee ($450 vs. $650).

Can I own 100% of the company?

Yes — per the available data the law permits 100% foreign ownership.

When did this law take effect?

14 May 2025 — the Law on Capital and Promotion of Investment Activity No. 2173, replacing 2016 legislation.
