Risks, limitations, and uncertainty
Notes on changes, conflicts, and limits.
- Investment note (Sept 2026)Published
- Competitor claim of US$14,000 is not supported: official pages state KGS 10 million (about US$114,000 at ~87.5 KGS/USD). An older MFA page still describes 12/24/36-month visas at the same KGS 10 million. This is a long-stay visa, not a residence permit; a separate investor residence-permit scheme (US$300-400k) was only under discussion in Jan 2026.
- Plan B note (Sept 2026)Published
- A multiple-entry long-stay visa rather than a residence permit; no route to permanent residence tied to it was confirmed. Family members get a companion visa for the same term. Cabinet regulation of 16 Oct 2023 set 5- and 10-year terms.
