Investment Visa (Type I)

The Investment Visa (Type I) is designed to attract foreign capital and expertise into the Kyrgyz Republic by providing a streamlined residency pathway for investors and senior executives of foreign investment companies. This visa is granted to individuals who contribute significantly to the national economy through monetary or material investments. To qualify, applicants must demonstrate a minimum investment of 10 million KGS, which must be directed toward priority economic sectors such as industry, agriculture, banking, power systems, education, medicine, construction, or information and communication technologies.

Beyond facilitating entry, this visa allows investors to manage their business operations, participate in local tenders and auctions, and reside in the country for an extended period, which can range from three to ten years depending on the scale of the investment. The application process is managed through the relevant state agency responsible for investment promotion. This visa category also extends benefits to the investor's immediate family members, including their spouse, minor children, and dependent parents, ensuring that families can remain together while contributing to the development of Kyrgyzstan's business landscape.
