In other regions it should not be less than $70 thousand and $85 thousand, respectively.

In this case, the purchase of real estate provided for in this paragraph shall not be the basis for foreign citizens to obtain a permanent registration and residence permit in the Republic of Uzbekistan.

The decree also reduced the amount of real estate required for foreign citizens to obtain a residence permit in Uzbekistan on the condition of purchasing real estate in Uzbekistan in Tashkent region and Tashkent city from $400 thousand to $300 thousand (for other regions this value is from $100 thousand to $200 thousand).
