Guide last updated September 30, 2026. Always verify with official sources before travel.

What you need

  • Passport valid for at least 6 months beyond the date of entry
  • No visa application or e-visa form required for stays up to 30 days
  • Return or onward ticket may be requested at the airport
  • Proof of accommodation (hotel booking) is recommended in case of border questions
  • No visa photo needed for visa-free entry
  • Biometrics: fingerprints and a photo may be collected at some ports of entry as part of standard immigration processing
  • Travel health insurance is recommended, since private emergency care can be costly

Visa types

  • No visa required for stays up to 30 days for tourism or business under the visa-free regime
  • For stays beyond 30 days, or for other purposes such as study or long-term business, an e-visa or ordinary visa must be obtained in advance through e-visa.gov.uz or an Uzbek consulate

Entry conditions

  • Present a valid passport at the port of entry; a 30-day stamp is issued directly, with no separate visa sticker
  • Registration with local authorities is required within a few days of arrival for longer stays — hotels usually handle this automatically
  • Paid work is not permitted on the visa-free entry
  • Extensions beyond 30 days require leaving and re-entering, or converting to a different visa category through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs

Fees & processing time

  • No fee for the visa-free 30-day entry
  • If an e-visa is later needed for a longer stay, typical fees run about USD 20-50 depending on the visa category, with processing in 2-3 business days
  • No service or agency fee applies since visa-free entry needs no online application

Tips for Canada travelers

  • Keep the hotel registration slip from every stop, since it can be checked at hotels or on departure
  • Make sure the passport has at least 6 months' validity, as many airlines and border staff enforce this even though it isn't the strict legal minimum
  • If planning to stay past 30 days, apply for the appropriate e-visa through the official e-visa.gov.uz portal rather than a third-party site
  • Carry small amounts of local currency (som) for registration or minor fees, since card acceptance can be limited outside Tashkent
  • Check with the Uzbek embassy for the current visa-free country list, as it is periodically updated
