From the same date, up to 10 million-soum microloans for a period of two years will be available for labor migrants departing in an organized manner to work in developed countries at the expense of the Migration Fund at a rate equal to the interest rate of the Central Bank plus 4 percentage points.

Provincial branches of the agency will adopt the practice of providing free consultations on employment abroad and obtaining a work visa.

From December 1, the agency will begin placing orders in educational institutions for vocational training and learning foreign languages ​​for citizens planning to work abroad.

The Ministry of Employment and Poverty Reduction will provide grants for training citizens wishing to go abroad to work.

By January 1, 2026, the functions of selecting, sending and hiring Uzbeks abroad will be gradually transferred to private employment agencies.
