Belarusian enterprises invite Tajik migrants and promise high salaries

Companies in the Grodno region of Belarus are ready to accept labor migrants from Tajikistan with salaries ranging from 750 to 1200 dollars, as well as provide housing.

As reported by the Ministry of Labor, Migration and Employment of the Population of Tajikistan on October 23, the director of the State Enterprise “Agency for Employment Abroad,” Jamolidin Rajabov, signed a cooperation agreement with several enterprises in the Grodno region.

During the visit to Grodno, the director and a leading specialist of the agency held negotiations with representatives of the regional authorities and the management of more than 10 companies. The agreement provides for the organized recruitment of citizens of Tajikistan for employment in Belarus.

During the negotiations, “issues of employment for citizens of Tajikistan in areas such as agriculture, textile and heavy industry, services, and transportation” were discussed.

According to the agency, the salary for labor migrants in Belarus will range from 750 to 1200 dollars per month. In addition, Belarusian companies promised to provide them with housing.

However, the announcement does not specify the number of quotas provided, the timeline for attracting workers, and other details of the agreements. It is still unclear whether the stated salaries are before taxes and other deductions. There is also no information on the conditions for providing housing: whether it will be free or for an additional fee.

It is worth noting that in July 2026, as part of the organized recruitment program for foreign labor, 255 residents of the Andijan region of Uzbekistan were sent to Belarus. A few days later, one of them complained in a video address about the living conditions and salary size. According to the migrants, they were offered a salary of about 500 dollars, and all expenses for housing and food had to be paid by the migrants themselves. The labor migrants stated that after paying all expenses, they were left with about 200 dollars. In the video address, they called on responsible officials to either reconsider the conditions of their employment and living arrangements or return them to Uzbekistan.

After the complaints were circulated, the authorities of Uzbekistan reported that they had checked the conditions of employment and living for the migrants. Workers who disagreed with the pre-agreed conditions were transferred to other employers. After that, other participants in the program noted that they were offered jobs with salaries of around 700 dollars, as well as free housing and meals.
