Residents of hard-to-reach high-altitude areas, including some border settlements with special status, are eligible for the benefit:

The following documents are required to process the benefit: parents' passports, children's birth certificates, certificates of birth for twins or other children, as well as proof of registration in the high-altitude zone. Foreigners must provide documents confirming their legal residence in Kyrgyzstan.
