Uzbekistan offers financial incentives for hiring returned migrants

Employers who hire returned labor migrants will receive a monthly subsidy of 500,000 UZS per employee for a duration of 12 months, starting from June 1, 2024.

- A valid labor contract registered in the Unified National Labor System with a returned migrant serves as the basis for the subsidy;
- The term 'returned labor migrants' refers to individuals who have been engaged in work abroad for more than three months and have returned to their place of residence within the last year.
