How to Apply for an Uzbekistan Visa
How the visa process works, from checking whether you need one to obtaining an e-visa or applying at a mission.
Important
Applying for entry to Uzbekistan starts with checking whether you need a visa at all. Many nationalities are visa-free for short stays, so the first step is to confirm your nationality's status on the official Ministry of Foreign Affairs and e-visa resources.
If you are not visa-free, most short-stay visitors apply online through the official e-visa portal at e-visa.gov.uz, creating an application, uploading the required documents and paying the fee electronically. For work, study, long-term or family routes, you may instead apply through an Uzbek diplomatic mission and may need an invitation or permit first.
After approval, the e-visa is issued electronically and presented on arrival. Foreign nationals must also register their place of stay shortly after entering the country.
General steps
- Confirm whether your nationality is visa-free or needs a visa
- For an e-visa, apply and pay on e-visa.gov.uz
- For work/study/family/long-term routes, secure any invitation or permit and apply as directed
- Register your place of stay after arrival
