BAKU, Azerbaijan, September 9. Kyrgyzstan has
completed a reform aimed at expanding access to the state pension
insurance system for citizens working abroad.
According to the Cabinet of Ministers of Kyrgyzstan, the results
of the reform were reviewed by Chairman of the Cabinet of Ministers
and Head of the Presidential Administration Adylbek Kasymaliev
during a staff meeting.
"The first reform aims to expand access to state pension
insurance for migrant workers. Citizens of Kyrgyzstan working
abroad can now participate in the state pension insurance system
remotely, make voluntary contributions, and thereby build up their
pension entitlements while outside the country," the statement
says.
The reform was initiated on May 18, 2026, as part of the 100-day
Government Accelerators program aimed at addressing social and
economic issues.
As a result, Kyrgyz citizens abroad can remotely participate in
the state pension insurance system, pay voluntary insurance
contributions and build their pension rights without returning to
Kyrgyzstan to complete administrative procedures.
The reform removed several administrative barriers that had
previously limited access to the system. Citizens abroad can now
register and obtain an electronic signature through the Tunduk
mobile application without using a mobile phone number.
Remote access to the taxpayer’s office was also provided,
allowing citizens to arrange voluntary pension insurance and obtain
the relevant insurance policy.
In addition, voluntary insurance contributions can now be paid
remotely by bank card.
According to the Cabinet of Ministers, the reform has made state
pension services more accessible to Kyrgyz citizens regardless of
where they are located.
