What is the processing time for Uzbekistan visa extension?

Visa extension applications are reviewed by the Migration Agency under the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Uzbekistan within up to 15 working days from the date of submission, excluding weekends and public holidays.

Complete timeline breakdown:

• Application review: Up to 15 working days for official assessment
• Payment notification: Sent immediately upon approval with state duty invoice
• Passport submission: Three working days after fee payment to deliver your passport to the migration office
• Passport collection: Two working days for the office to affix the extension sticker and notify you for pickup

The total process typically takes about three weeks from initial online application to receiving your passport back with the extension. Because the review period may take up to 15 working days, applicants are strongly advised to submit their extension request well before their current visa expires.

If your application is rejected due to missing information or identified deficiencies, you'll receive a reasoned refusal notice. You can resubmit with corrections, but this restarts the entire 15-working-day review period.

State fees vary depending on the type and duration of the extension and are calculated in Uzbek soum (UZS). The exact amount is indicated after the application is approved. Payment can be made online or at designated banks. After payment confirmation, you have exactly three working days to present your physical passport to your local migration office.
