It could fit.

A-1 student entry visa needs admission to a qualifying course; the course and your passport then decide it.

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: Institution request and separate residence-registration compliance.

This visa doesn’t lead to a passport.

2027
First residence permit
1 year, renewable for 1 year at a time.

Language: Uzbek sufficient for everyday communication.
Civics: Undertake to observe the Constitution.
Time away: Five continuous years from issuance of a permanent residence permit to the citizenship application, with lawful income.
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 five-year Uzbek citizenship clock begins only after a permanent residence permit, not on the A-1 student visa.

Living there.

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.
