multiple entry7d processingvalid 365donline
Single digital document combining an entry visa and work authorization for foreign nationals taking up employment or individual entrepreneurship in Kyrgyzstan.
Since 1 July 2025 (Cabinet of Ministers Resolution No. 367) the former Employment Visa W1 (issued to work-permit or individual-entrepreneur applicants; initial 60 days without a permit, then multiple-entry for the work-permit validity) and Employment Visa W2 (up to 90 days, renewable annually, for categories exempt from a work permit under the Law on External Labor Migration) were consolidated into a single electronic 'Unified Permit' (Single Permit) covering both entry and legal employment. Employers or workers apply via the e-visa portal; processing about 7 working days; stay/validity is tied to the employment term and renewable. Issuance is administered by the MFA through the end of 2026. Distinct from the Special Work SW1/SW2 visa (short-term technicians, journalists, charity staff). Former consular W1/W2 fee was approximately USD 60-90.
