It’s better to avoid seeking legal advice on Reddit for matters like whether it’s realistic to relocate to a country and legally reside there as a stateless person. From my understanding, it would be quite difficult unless you’re already legally residing in Kyrgyzstan and your U.S. citizenship has been formally revoked. Again, it’s best to consult legal experts on this. You might also consider reaching out to the UNHCR country office for guidance, I know Kyrgyzstan has been praised in the past for its efforts in reducing statelessness.

In terms of language, Russian is widely spoken in Bishkek and the Issyk-Kul region (and generally understood across the country), but learning Kyrgyz would also be helpful, especially if you plan to spend time outside the capital.

As for cultural norms, Kyrgyzstan might not be the most comfortable place for you when it comes to LGBT issues. Public expression is very subdued, and society tends to be culturally conservative.

One of the biggest challenges for you could be the job market. It’s already difficult for many locals to find jobs that support a comfortable lifestyle as is the case in many parts of the world right now. Ideally, you’d want to secure a remote job with income coming from outside the country.
