Do you need a visa for Uzbekistan?

Yes, you need a visa to enter Uzbekistan unless you are from a country that is exempt from visa requirements. Most travelers must obtain a visa from a Uzbek diplomatic mission or apply for an e-visa online. As of 2023, the e-visa allows stays of up to 30 days and can be applied for easily through the government’s e-visa portal.

To apply for an Uzbekistan e-visa, you need to submit the following documents electronically through the e-visa portal:

• Passport: Ensure that your passport is valid for at least six months beyond your intended stay, with at least 2 blank pages available for the visa stamp.
• Visa Application Form: A completed and signed application form is essential. This form often requires personal details and travel information.
• Photographs: Provide recent passport-sized photographs as per specifications outlined by the embassy or consulate.
• Passport scan: The first page of your passport must be scanned to provide.

After gathering these documents, you can fill out the application form on the e-visa portal, pay the fee, and submit your application at least three days before your planned travel date. Upon approval, you will receive your e-visa via email, which you must print and present along with your passport upon entering Uzbekistan.
