The Ministry of Digital Development of the Kyrgyz Republic has proposed introducing a new tool to legalize the stay of citizens of Russia and other countries. This tool is called a Temporary Residence Permit (TRP). The ministry has already developed a draft resolution for the government. Currently, temporary registration in Kyrgyzstan serves as a substitute for the TRP.
For now, Russian citizens can stay in Kyrgyzstan without registration for up to 30 days per trip, with a total of up to 90 days within any 180-day period. An exception applies to digital nomads, who do not require registration.
Temporary registration in Kyrgyzstan is a mandatory procedure for:
- Extending one’s stay in Kyrgyzstan beyond 30 days.
- Obtaining bank cards.
- Applying for an international passport.
The registration is valid for six months.
How to Obtain Temporary Registration
The easiest way to register is to ask the property owner, or hotel/hostel staff, to handle the registration process. If this is not possible, you can seek assistance from their acquaintances or migrant support groups in online forums and chats.
To process the registration, you need to visit a Population Service Center (PSC) with the required documents together with the designated person responsible for your registration. These documents include:
- A passport or birth certificate (for children).
- A registration application form.
If using an international passport, registration is carried out based on the entry stamp in the passport. For those with a domestic passport, the process requires a boarding pass, ticket, or other document confirming the date of entry.
For convenience, you can use the EarlyOne app to reserve a place in the electronic queue.
Important Notes:
- Each individual must reserve their own spot in the queue.
- Keep the registration receipt with you at all times, and if possible, make a copy or take a photo of it.
- If you leave Kyrgyzstan while your registration is still valid, you will need to re-register upon your return.
- With temporary registration one can open company of sole proprietorship.
