Trade-tested Indian welders, construction workers, industrial technicians, energy-sector operators and skilled craftsmen mobilised to Tashkent, Samarkand, Navoi, Bukhara, and across Uzbekistan. End-to-end work-permit documentation.
Arman Consultants recruits skilled Indian workers for Uzbekistani employers under our Government of India recruitment licence (No. 000140/BOM/PROP/1000+/3/436/84). Uzbekistan is undergoing the most ambitious economic transformation in its history — with President Mirziyoyev's reform programme attracting billions of dollars in FDI to energy, manufacturing, construction, and tourism infrastructure. The country's workforce demand significantly exceeds local supply in skilled technical trades, and Indian workers are increasingly recognised as a high-quality, compliant solution.
India and Uzbekistan share strong bilateral ties — a Joint Commission on Trade and Economic Cooperation, a bilateral investment treaty, and India's active engagement in Navoi Free Economic Zone development. This creates a uniquely positive environment for Indian worker deployment. Our documentation team manages the complete India-side process aligned with Uzbekistani Agency for External Labour Migration (AELM) requirements.

Uzbekistan has a young and growing population, but skilled technical workers remain scarce due to historic underinvestment in vocational training. The government's 2030 development strategy envisions $100B+ in infrastructure and industrial investment, requiring a workforce build-up that cannot be met domestically alone. The AELM and Ministry of Employment have actively promoted TCN recruitment frameworks to fill this gap, with India specifically named as a priority partner in bilateral meetings.
Key demand sectors include: Navoi Free Economic Zone (India has one of the largest investor presences), Uzbekneftegaz and Lukoil Uzbekistan supply chains, the Tashkent City mega-development, Samarkand tourism infrastructure, the Bukhara and Kokand industrial parks, and Uzbekistan's new pharmaceutical and food-processing industrial clusters. All of these sectors have acute shortages in skilled trades that Indian workers can fill.
You share roles, city/project site, headcount, and start dates. We advise on AELM quota and permit timeline within 24 hours.

Briefing on Uzbekistani labour law (Mehnat Kodeksi), workplace norms, accommodation, and OVIR registration within 3 days of arrival.
Uzbekistan's Labour Code (Mehnat Kodeksi) provides workers with rights including written employment contracts, minimum wage compliance, annual leave, and access to Uzbekistani labour courts. TCN workers must register with the local OVIR (migration office) within 3 days of arrival. Work permits are employer-specific and renewable annually through AELM. We prepare employers with a step-by-step compliance checklist for the post-arrival period.
For Navoi FEZ employers specifically, the FEZ management authority (NAIDA) has streamlined TCN work-authorisation processes for zone tenants — a significant advantage we leverage for our FEZ-based clients. We maintain direct contact with the NAIDA permit desk to track processing timelines.
Uzbekistan's AELM enforces strict requirements for TCN employers. Unlicensed or undocumented placements create serious risk under Uzbekistani migration law. Every Arman Consultants deployment is licensed, documented, and eMigrate-cleared.
Our GOI licence (No: 000140/BOM/PROP/1000+/3/436/84) covers CIS placements including Uzbekistan. Every worker travels on a legitimately issued work permit and consular visa. All placements are traceable through the Indian eMigrate system.
Strictly employer-pays. No placement fee, deposit, or document charge to any candidate. This is contractually specified in every engagement.
For Navoi Free Economic Zone employers, we are familiar with NAIDA's expedited TCN permit process and can advise on zone-specific timelines and requirements. Our India-Uzbekistan corridor is one of our most active bilateral deployment routes.
Our service charge per successfully deployed worker is fixed at contract signing and covers India-side sourcing, trade testing, apostille/attestation, eMigrate clearance, medical coordination, and pre-departure orientation. Uzbekistani AELM permit costs and employer fees are your responsibility; we provide current estimates at project inception.
For Navoi FEZ and large industrial intakes (30+ workers), we offer India-based selection events. Several Indian companies active in Navoi FEZ use Arman Consultants to source their India-origin skilled workforce — giving us unique insight into the FEZ's HR requirements and permit environment.
Work permits for TCN nationals are issued by the Agency for External Labour Migration (AELM). The employer initiates quota allocation; the worker then obtains a business/work visa from the Uzbekistani embassy in India.
NAIDA (Navoi FEZ authority) has a streamlined TCN work-authorisation process for FEZ tenants. We advise zone-based clients specifically on this expedited track.
