All About the Uzbekistan Visa
While you map out your trip to Uzbekistan, the country that boasts the magnificent Ugam-Chatkal national park, you probably want to know whether you need a visa to enter. Here we explain which travel document you need and how to apply for it, getting you one step closer to trying the country’s traditional dish of palov.
Depending on whether you plan to travel to surrounding countries like Turkmenistan or Kazakhstan, you can get:
- A Single Entry visa if you’re just entering one time.
- Double Entry if you want to travel in and out of the country twice.
- Multiple Entry if you’re considering Uzbekistan as a home base for exploring Central Asia and need to enter more than twice.
Bear in mind that an eVisa only allows you to stay in the country for 30 days, so you’ll have to renew it in the country if you want to stay longer.
Your visa situation varies depending on the country you’re from. Uzbekistan allows citizens from certain countries to enter visa-free for either 30, 60 or 90 days. Other visitors should apply online for authorisation, while others must go to their local consulate to apply.
Whatever your case may be, you can consult what visa you’re eligible for with our checker tool below. If you’re eligible for the eVisa, with Byevisa you can apply quickly and easily, and you receive it in your email inbox.

What’s the Difference Between an Uzbekistan eVisa and a Visa on Arrival?
An eVisa is an electronic authorisation document allowing you to enter into the country legally and is issued online. It’s simple to apply for yours with Byevisa, saving you time to plan your trip. eVisas are processed electronically and sent to your email address. Even though the document is digital, it should be printed before you go to show upon arrival.
In contrast, a Visa on Arrival (VoA) requires you to get a special confirmation stamped into your passport by visiting your nearest Uzbekistan consulate and then collect your VoA at Tashkent International Airport. Unlike some countries where a VoA is simple to obtain, for Uzbekistan the process is more complicated.
Citizens from 77 countries are eligible for an eVisa. To check which type of visa you’re eligible for, please read more in our ‘Uzbekistan Visa Application Process’ section below.
