"IT-Visa has played a pivotal role in facilitating my official residency status in Uzbekistan, enabling me to obtain a Business Visa for permanent stay. Moreover, IT-Visa greatly facilitates employment opportunities within companies registered as IT Park residents, offering substantial reductions in income tax liabilities, which is a significant advantage”.
Firstly, IT Park provided me with access to potential projects and talent for investment. This connection led me to the MyTeacher team and co-founder, enabling a successful business collaboration that continues to thrive. Secondly, IT Park has opened up the opportunity for our business to become a "resident" of IT Park. We have applied for this status, hope we would be accepted soon and are eagerly anticipating the full support that comes with it, which will help us accelerate our development. IT Visa has been a game-changer with its efficient processing. I'm truly impressed with the IT Visa team's timely and supportive approach. It streamlines the paperwork process for investors and co-founders like me, allowing us to focus on business development in Uzbekistan.
In the meantime, renewing the visa every 6 months/1 year was a very complicated, time-consuming and tiring task, but being able to renew it once every 3 years gave me a great sense of stability in my work. However, as instructed through the IT Visa, it would be good if family members could receive a visa for 3 years at once, but the family was asked to leave the country and obtain a visa abroad. But a consul were told that a person could only provide a maximum of 1 year in case of getting a visa abroad, so my all family members received only a 1-year visa. I hope this part also improves. Thanks. The good thing about IT-Visa is that I often travel to local areas for work, and it is very convenient that I do not need to register my residence when traveling to local areas.
I started two years ago, establishing a startup studio, and I am still actively involved in its development. We have successfully launched several Minimum Viable Products (MVPs) and are currently in the process of securing capital for each one. We have leveraged the support provided by the IT park, participating in various events and courses. We strongly encourage many of our startups to engage in incubator and accelerator programs offered by both the IT park and its partners. I am proud to share that I was the first foreigner to obtain an IT visa, marking a significant milestone. This achievement is particularly meaningful because, when you are dedicated to building a startup or, in my case, multiple startups, dealing with visa reissuance and registration on a monthly or seasonal basis can be a significant distraction. I am grateful, katta rahmat! Additionally, thanks to the IT visa, I am now planning to purchase a house within my financial budget range, a goal that seemed impossible without this visa.
