Relocating a business from Russia to Kyrgyzstan: 2026 checklist

Short answer: relocating a business from Russia to Kyrgyzstan takes 2–4 weeks: LLC registration (3–7 days, remote), bank account (5–10 days), contract migration and, for IT — HTP residency with 0% tax. Russian citizens need no visa, and a residence permit is arranged through your own company.

Relocation checklist

1. Structure. Decide what moves: the whole entity, part of the contracts, or only revenue from foreign clients.
2. Entity. Register an LLC in Kyrgyzstan remotely — by a notarized power of attorney from Russia.
3. Taxes. Choose the regime: single tax 2–6% or HTP 0% for IT.
4. Bank. Open accounts in KGS and foreign currency; prepare the compliance package.
5. Contracts. Re-sign agreements with customers to the new entity — we help with English templates.
6. People. If the team relocates — residence permits and work permits.
7. Accounting. Outsource bookkeeping — from 10,000 KGS/month.

Why Kyrgyzstan over other countries

EAEU membership: free trade with Russia and Kazakhstan. Visa-free entry for Russians, Russian is an official language in paperwork, registration in 3 days and some of the lowest taxes in the region.
