| Return or onward ticket Required for entry | Immigration officers at Tashkent International Airport ask for a confirmed onward or return ticket. Budget airlines from Bangladesh also check this at check-in. Have a printed copy or a screenshot ready. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Officers may ask for a hotel reservation or a letter of invitation from your host in Uzbekistan. A printed booking confirmation from Booking.com or a signed invitation letter works fine. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can cover your stay | Carry a bank statement or a credit card showing you have enough funds for accommodation and daily expenses. There is no fixed minimum amount, but having $500–$1,000 equivalent in cash or card is safe. | Recommended |
eVisa is single-entry only
The Uzbekistan eVisa allows one entry. If you leave the country (even to a neighboring country), you'll need a new eVisa to re-enter.
Passport validity is strictly enforced
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the day you land. If it's close to expiring, renew it before applying. No exceptions.
What happens at the border
1
Apply for the eVisa online
Go to e-visa.gov.uz and fill out the application. You'll need your passport details, travel dates, and accommodation info. Upload a passport-style photo and pay the fee (around $20 USD). Processing usually takes 2-3 business days.
2
Receive and save your eVisa
Once approved, you'll get a PDF via email. Print a copy and also save it on your phone. The eVisa is linked to your passport number, so you don't need to carry the paper, but it's safer to have it.
3
Arrive at the airport in Uzbekistan
At Tashkent International Airport (or other entry points), go to the immigration counter. Hand over your passport and the eVisa printout or show it on your phone. The officer will scan your passport and stamp you in. Keep your return ticket and accommodation confirmation ready in case they ask.
4
Complete the arrival process
After the stamp, collect your luggage and proceed through customs. There's no separate arrival declaration form for most tourists. You're free to enter.
