What happens at the border
1
Arrive at the airport
You'll land at Tashkent International Airport (TAS) or another international airport. Follow signs to 'Passport Control' — there are separate queues for foreigners and locals. Use the foreigner queue.
2
Present your passport and ticket
Hand over your passport and your return/onward ticket if asked. The officer will check your passport validity and stamp you in. No visa is needed, so no forms to fill.
3
Collect your luggage and exit
After passport control, pick up your bags from the carousel and walk through customs. There's usually no customs declaration for personal items. You're free to go.
