Refugees in Tajikistan are permitted to participate in professional fields, including "liberal professions," as long as they possess the required diplomas or qualifications, which have passed through the diploma nostrification procedure as outlined in Part No. 21 of Article No.23 of the Law of the Republic of Tajikistan on Education, and its subsequent recognition. The country's legal framework provides opportunities for refugees to apply their skills and education. The Labor Code of Tajikistan in Article No. 1 defines "suitable work" as employment that corresponds to an individual's education, specialization, professional training, work experience, and health condition, highlighting the recognition of professional qualifications in the labor market.  Additionally, if the selected profession requires obtaining a license, as stipulated by various legal acts related to the licensing of certain types of activities, individuals with the necessary qualifications can obtain licenses to practice in specific professional sectors, thereby facilitating the practice of a liberal profession.

Overall, while Tajikistan’s legal system enables refugees to engage in professional work with the right qualifications, they must navigate local labor laws and secure the necessary permits. Support programs are available to assist with this process, though some challenges may still require additional help.
