Uzbekistan pursues a consistent policy of attracting foreign investment, providing investors with a comprehensive set of legal guarantees and benefits. The Law on Investments and Investment Activity guarantees protection from expropriation and nationalization, free transfer of profits and dividends abroad, and equal conditions for foreign and domestic investors.
Main forms of foreign investment include: establishing an enterprise with foreign participation (joint venture or 100% foreign capital), acquiring shares in existing companies, concluding concession and PPP agreements, and providing loans to Uzbek enterprises.
For large investment projects above a certain threshold, additional benefits are provided: customs duty exemptions for equipment imports, tax holidays for up to 7 years and allocation of land plots on preferential terms. The investor can also conclude an investment agreement with the Government, fixing the stability of the legal regime for the entire project period.
If you are outside Uzbekistan but need someone to act on your behalf there — for a property deal, court proceedings, or official paperwork — you have two recognised options: a consular power of attorney or a locally notarised document bearing an apostille. As a practising notary in the Yunusabad district of Tashkent, I explain both routes and what you need to prepare.
If you have granted a power of attorney but circumstances have changed, you are entitled to revoke it at any time. Alisher Botirov, a notary in the Yunusabad district of Tashkent, explains how to revoke a power of attorney correctly under Uzbek law, what documents you will need, and what to watch out for.
