  • Upload a scan of your passport bio page and a digital photo.
  • Pay the visa fee online by credit or debit card in USD.
  • Processing is typically 2–3 business days; you'll receive an email with a PDF e-Visa approval.
  • Print the e-Visa approval and carry it along with your passport; present both at passport control on arrival at Tashkent or other entry points.

Tips for United States travelers

  • Apply at least a week before travel to allow for the standard 2–3 business day processing plus any unexpected delays.
  • Double-check your passport scan and photo meet the portal's quality requirements — blurry uploads are a common cause of processing delays.
  • Choose the entry type (single, double, multiple) that matches your actual itinerary, since amending an approved e-Visa isn't straightforward.
  • Print your e-Visa approval rather than relying solely on a phone screenshot, in case of connectivity issues at the airport.
  • Confirm current requirements on e-visa.gov.uz before applying, as Uzbekistan has periodically adjusted visa-free and e-Visa rules for various nationalities.
