Uzbekistan has simplified the process of obtaining citizenship

On June 14, 2021, amendments were made to the law «On Citizenship of the Republic of Uzbekistan» № LRU-696, as a result of which it became easier to obtain citizenship of Uzbekistan.

According to the new law, the following persons can obtain citizenship of Uzbekistan:
