Tashkent is 3x pricier than the periphery — three regional tiers

Residence Permit via Property Purchase
Uzbekistan

The threshold depends on region: Tashkent from $300,000, six regions (Samarkand, Bukhara, Namangan, Andijan, Fergana, Khorezm) from $200,000, Karakalpakstan and other regions from $100,000. Introduced by a decree of 18.04.2025, in effect from 01.06.2025.

Karakalpakstan and other regions

Three regional tiers — not one

The gap between Tashkent and the periphery is threefold — this is not a single national threshold.

What the process consists of

Separate from the property route, there is an investor visa (from ≈$290,000) valid up to 3 years, and a declared "golden visa" via an investment payment from $250,000 valid up to 5 years — but the regulation for the golden visa route specifically had not been finalised as of the primary source’s publication date.

A good fit if

You can invest from $100,000 in Karakalpakstan or regions outside the six listed.
You are considering from $200,000 in Samarkand, Bukhara, Namangan, Andijan, Fergana, or Khorezm.
You are prepared for the highest threshold from $300,000 specifically in Tashkent.
You understand there is no citizenship by investment in Uzbekistan — only a 5-year renewable residence permit.

A poor fit if

You are counting on a single national figure — the threshold is regional in fact, with a 3x gap between Tashkent and the periphery.
You expect citizenship through this programme — Uzbekistan does not currently offer citizenship by investment in any form.
You are specifically considering the "golden visa" via investment payment from $250,000 — as of the checked primary source’s date, the regulation for this specific route had not been finalised, and the procedure wasn’t determined.
You need a direct link to the official decree — this page’s source is an Uzbek law firm, not the direct government decree text.

Frequent questions

Why is the Tashkent threshold three times higher than elsewhere?

Per the available data, the decree sets regional differentiation — Tashkent, as the most expensive property market, got the highest threshold ($300K), peripheral regions the most accessible one ($100K).

Does buying property grant Uzbek citizenship?

No — per the available data, Uzbekistan does not currently offer citizenship by investment in any form, only a 5-year renewable residence permit.

What is the "golden visa" and how does it differ from the property route?

Per the available data, it is a separate route declared by the decree via an investment payment from $250,000 valid up to 5 years — but as of the primary source’s publication date (October 2025), the regulation and document list for it had not been finalised.

Is there an investor visa without buying property?

Per the available data, yes — a multiple-entry investor visa from ≈$290,000 (8,500 base calculation values) valid up to 3 years, separate from the property route.

When was this regime introduced?

Per the available data, by a decree of the President of Uzbekistan dated 18 April 2025, in effect from 1 June 2025.

Why is there no direct link to the decree text itself?

This page’s source is a direct analysis of the decree by Azizov & Partners, a Uzbek law firm, rather than the decree text from an official government portal — stated in the sources section.
