A person has the right to live in any country he likes. Most often, when changing the country of residence, citizenship also changes. At the same time, many states require the loss of former citizenship. Uzbekistan is no exception; by law, dual citizenship is prohibited for citizens of the republic.
Termination of citizenship of RU
A citizen of the Republic of Uzbekistan, if he wishes to settle in another state, must renounce his citizenship.
How citizenship is terminated
The procedure can be of two types:
- Loss - a process that a natural person cannot influence, does not initiate and is not able to stop;
- Refusal - initiated by an individual with the submission of an application and all required documents, payment of a fee.
The mechanism of loss is launched by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Internal Affairs. They find persons with dual citizenship, collect a dossier on them, send it to the Presidential Commission on Citizenship Issues. The president decides whether to deprive a person of citizenship or not.
Important! According to the Constitution, a person cannot be deprived of citizenship or the right to change it. Termination is voluntary.
But for any person who was not born in the country, the procedure for canceling the acquisition of citizenship can be applied. This happens when it was appropriated on the basis of falsified documents, false information, and so on.
The loss of citizenship can be carried out for several reasons:
- The fact of the second citizenship was revealed;
- A citizen entered the service of the administrative or power bodies of another state;
- A citizen serves in the state security of another state;
- A citizen resides in another state permanently, but has not completed consular registration, and this has not been declared within the period specified by law for three years;
- He harmed his country or its people;
- Citizenship was obtained with the provision of false information or forged documents - deprivation due to the cancellation procedure.
Double citizenship
In 2016, the authorities of the republic introduced into the Law on Citizenship a new basis for its loss - the acquisition of citizenship of a foreign state.

Those who became citizens of the Republic of Uzbekistan after 2016, if they acquire foreign citizenship, automatically leave the previous one without any action on their part, except for notifying the authorities about the change of residence and citizenship.
How is the exit done?
This process for those who have chosen Russia as their place of permanent residence is carried out at the Embassy of Uzbekistan in Moscow, or the Consulate General in Novosibirsk.
By the way. There is an opportunity to go through the necessary procedure in the RU itself. But more often than not, people have already lived in Russia for a long time by the time it comes time to choose between two citizenships. And if the choice is in favor of the Russian one, it makes no sense to return to Uzbekistan.
