In Tajikistan, domestic laws and policies offer both opportunities and obstacles for refugees seeking access to state employment services. While refugees and asylum seekers are legally entitled to education and healthcare on par with local citizens, their ability to secure formal employment remains restricted. Reports indicate that the government enforces limitations on refugees working in the formal sector, even after their status is officially recognized. Furthermore, Government Resolution No. 325 prohibits refugees from residing in major urban centers such as Dushanbe and Khujand, further hindering their employment prospects and access to essential services.

In summary, although Tajikistan's legal framework grants certain rights to refugees, significant barriers persist in accessing state employment services, highlighting the need for continued advocacy and support from international organizations.
