What would settle itYour admission and the course’s eligibility under the destination’s rules.

Every option that fits your family

Not legal advice.

What it takes.

Time: The issuing authority decides the application after the complete sponsored file and prerequisite approvals are lodged.
Cost: Government charges are assessed under the issuing authority’s schedule; sponsor, translation and document costs are separate.
The hard part: Institutional petition and a study plan within the nonextendable period.

This visa doesn’t lead to a passport.

2027
First residence permit
0.75 years, not renewable.

Language: Communicative Tajik.
Civics: Undertake to observe the Constitution and laws.
Time away: Five continuous years of residence; ordinary naturalisation also requires lawful income and a renunciation undertaking.
Two passports: Usually not: new citizens are asked to give up their other citizenship.

Time on this program does not count toward permanent residence or citizenship; the family would need to switch to one that does.
The nine-month O-2 is nonextendable and cannot by itself build a continuous five-year option.

Time you must spend there: The program sets no minimum number of days. Renewal still expects it to be your home.
Tax: Where you become tax resident follows the days you spend there and where your home is. We map it for your family before you move.

We never file a tax return. We tell you what applies and brief the professional who does.
