For citizens of these countries, it is enough to have a valid passport. The period of stay without a visa is usually 30 days, but for some countries it can be extended to 60 or 90 days.

Electronic visa (e-visa)

If your country is not included in the visa-free list, you can apply for an electronic visa. This is a simplified process that allows you to apply online. E-visa is available for citizens of more than 50 countries, including:

  • India
  • China
  • Saudi Arabia

An electronic visa is issued for up to 30 days and allows single or multiple entry.

Regular visa

For citizens of countries that are not on the visa-free list or do not have access to e-visa, a regular visa is required through the Consulate of Uzbekistan. This applies, for example, to citizens of Pakistan, Afghanistan and some African countries. To obtain a visa, you will need an invitation (LOI) from the host country.
