Danish passport holders can enter Uzbekistan without a visa for stays up to 30 days. This visa-free policy has been in place since 2021 and applies to tourism, business, and transit. Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from your arrival date.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must cover your entire stay in Uzbekistan | Your Danish passport needs at least one blank page for the entry stamp. Uzbekistan does not enforce the 6-month validity rule — your passport just needs to be valid for the duration of your stay. Airlines may still ask for 6 months validity at check-in, so check with your carrier before departure. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Immigration may ask for proof of departure | Uzbek border officers occasionally ask for a return or onward ticket at Tashkent International Airport. Have a printed or digital copy of your outbound flight booking ready. A flexible or refundable ticket works if your plans are uncertain. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Carry a printed hotel confirmation or a letter of invitation from your host in Uzbekistan. Immigration rarely checks this for short stays, but having it ready avoids delays at the counter. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can cover your stay | Officers may ask for evidence of sufficient funds — roughly $50–$100 USD per day of your stay. A bank statement or credit card with a decent limit usually satisfies them. Keep a copy in your carry-on. | Recommended |
Visa-free for 30 days only
The 30-day period starts on the day you enter. Overstaying, even by a day, can lead to fines. Set a reminder to leave on time.
Passport validity is strictly enforced
Airlines check this before you board. If your passport expires within 6 months of your arrival date, you won't be allowed to fly.
