Starting from 1 May 2022, subject to certain minimum investment thresholds, foreign nationals have been allowed to acquire real estate under construction (with the exception of land plots) without having to be a resident/having residence permit in the country. Real estate investments (not for business and own residential purposes) by foreign persons were previously not allowed. Nonetheless, foreign citizens and non-residents of Uzbekistan have to pay higher fees for notarizing deals on purchase of residential property in new buildings than citizens of Uzbekistan.
"3. Starting from May 1, 2022, citizens of foreign countries whose list will be approved by the Cabinet of Ministers should be given the right to invest in the following newly constructed real estate objects (excluding land plots) without requiring a residence permit in the Republic of Uzbekistan:
In Tashkent region, Tashkent and Samarkand cities - real estate objects worth not less than the equivalent of 150,000 US dollars based on contracts concluded during the construction period, real estate objects accepted for use not less than the equivalent value of 180,000 US dollars;
in other regions - real estate objects worth not less than the equivalent of 70,000 US dollars based on the contracts concluded during construction, and real estate objects accepted for use not less than the value of the equivalent of 85,000 US dollars.
In this case, the purchase of real estate objects considered in this paragraph is not a reason for citizens of foreign countries to obtain a permanent registration and residence permit in the Republic of Uzbekistan.[...]" (Decree of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan, No. PF-101 dated 08.04.2022 "ABOUT THE NEXT REFORMS TO IMPROVE THE BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT AND CREATE CONDITIONS FOR SUSTAINABLE ECONOMIC GROWTH THROUGH THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE PRIVATE SECTOR")
