Bishkek, Feb. 13, 2019. /Kabar/. The State Migration Service is working on the issue of voluntary life insurance for citizens of the Kyrgyz Republic traveling abroad, the press service of the institution reported. In connection with the dissemination of information among the public regarding compulsory insurance of citizens of the Kyrgyz Republic going abroad, the State Migration Service under the Government of the Kyrgyz Republic reported the following. The State Migration Service draws the attention of the public to the fact that compulsory insurance prevents citizens of the Kyrgyz Republic from free movement outside the country, which is contrary to the Constitution of the Kyrgyz Republic. In addition, in accordance with the Civil Code of the Kyrgyz Republic, the law cannot impose a duty on a citizen to insure his life or health. In this regard, as well as taking into account the numerous appeals of representatives of diasporas of Kyrgyzstan and public representatives related to the problems of delivering cargo 200 to the territory of Kyrgyzstan and the issue of its financing, the State Migration Service is considering the issue of voluntary life insurance of citizens of the Kyrgyz Republic going abroad. To this end, consultations were held with the State Insurance Company on the possibility of implementing a voluntary insurance policy, the cost of which has not yet been determined. After the preliminary calculations, the State Migration Service will submit a proposal for consideration to the government of the Kyrgyz Republic. “At the same time, it is worth noting that the adopted measure is not aimed at replenishing the country's budget, but at providing the family members of the deceased with a residual level of finances for delivering the body to homeland and for burial in the event of his/her death,” the statement reads.
