Digital nomad status (Cabinet Resolution No. 241)
Open
Last verified August 2026
Made a permanent procedure by Cabinet of Ministers Resolution No. 241 of 30 April 2025. Status is granted initially for 60 days, then extended for one year at a time, renewable up to ten years. No minimum income threshold has been published.
Ten years of lawful presence without a work permit, with the right to register as an individual entrepreneur or company founder and to open bank accounts without residential registration, is generous by any standard — and it pairs with a 10% flat tax if you cross the 183-day residency line, or with no Kyrgyz tax at all if you do not.
Qualifying routes

Remote worker in information and communication technology or an adjacent field
Open to nationals of a designated list of countries.

What can go wrong
- IT IS NOT A RESIDENCE PERMIT. Ten years on this status builds nothing towards citizenship.
- SCOPE IS SECTORAL. Eligibility is limited to ICT and adjacent fields, and to nationals of a designated country list.
- CROSSING 183 DAYS MAKES YOU TAX-RESIDENT on worldwide income at 10%. That is usually the point, but it should be a decision rather than an accident.
- The procedure is new and the published detail is thin. Fees, family inclusion and renewal mechanics should be confirmed with the State Registration Service before you rely on them.
