In the Kyrgyz Republic, national laws and policies generally allow individuals to freely choose their place of residence, including refugees and asylum seekers. The Kyrgyz Republic provides constitutional guarantees, such as Article 31 of the Constitution of the Kyrgyz Republic, which guarantees all rights to freedom of movement and choice of residence on the territory of the Kyrgyz Republic. Article 52 of the Constitution of the Kyrgyz Republic establishes that foreign citizens and stateless persons have the same rights and obligations as citizens of the Kyrgyz Republic, unless otherwise provided by law or international treaties. 

These provisions of the Constitution apply to all persons on the territory of the Kyrgyz Republic, including asylum seekers and refugees. 

The Law "On Refugees" of March 25, 2002 №44 defines in detail the rights to free choice of residence, but does not contain special restrictions for asylum seekers and refugees: 

Article 6: Refugees and asylum seekers have the right to free movement throughout the territory of the Kyrgyz Republic, with the exception of the zone closed to foreign citizens in accordance with the law. While waiting for a decision on granting a temporary residence permit in specially organized accommodation zones. 

Article 13: Recognized refugees have the same rights and bear the same obligations as foreign citizens permanently residing in the Kyrgyz Republic. They are additionally granted the rights stipulated by Article 6 of the Law, including freedom of movement and the ability to choose a place of residence. 

Although the law provides for the possibility of creating temporary accommodation places for asylum seekers and refugees, in practice such social facilities do not exist. This circumstance determines the peculiarities of realization of the rights to choose the place of residence, as asylum seekers and refugees independently provide their accommodation and take into account the expenses for housing, in fact realizing the right to freely choose the place of residence. 

The system of legal regulation in the Kyrgyz Republic corresponds to the provisions of The Refugee Convention concept: 

• Asylum seekers and refugees legally staying in the territory of the Kyrgyz Republic have the right to freely choose their place of residence without discriminatory restrictions. 
• All restrictions on movement, such as a ban on visiting closed territories for visiting by foreign citizens in accordance with the legislation of the Kyrgyz Republic, apply to all foreign citizens without exception to ensure compliance with equally applicable legislation. 

Thus, the legislation and law enforcement practice of the Kyrgyz Republic provide for the implementation of the rights of asylum seekers and refugees to freely choose their place of residence in accordance with national and international standards.
