The eVisa is typically valid for 30 days and can be issued for a single-, double-, or multiple entries, depending on your travel plans. This option is ideal for tourists and business travelers looking for a hassle-free entry process.

Pro tip from Femke: "Make sure your passport is valid for at least six months beyond your travel dates to avoid issues during the application process."

Tips for a smooth visa application and trip to Uzbekistan

Uzbekistan is a welcoming country, but many travelers are uncertain about what to expect when they arrive in the country. Here are some tried-and-tested tips from travelers and our visa experts.

Michael Angelo from the Project Kosmos shares:

"Short lines at the airport, no questions, and I could enter visa-free. Security was minimal too. Just be careful about the price gauging by the airport taxis!"

Sarah T. from the United States recommends:

"The government eVisa website lacks comprehensive language support, making it difficult for non-English speakers to navigate the application process. I used iVisa instead, it was perfect"

Dilana M. from Colombia shares the following tip:

"Ensure that your U.S. dollar bills are in excellent condition. A store refused to accept a note with a minor stamp on the side."
