Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| eVisa application Apply before travel | Libyan passport holders must apply for an Uzbekistan eVisa at e-visa.gov.uz before departure. The application takes about 10 minutes — upload a passport scan and a digital photo. Processing usually takes 2–3 business days, and the eVisa is valid for 30 days single entry.Apply for eVisa | Required |
| Valid passport Must cover entire stay | Your passport needs at least one blank page for the entry stamp. Uzbekistan does not enforce a 6-month validity rule — just make sure it's valid for the full duration of your trip. Airlines at check-in may ask for the eVisa approval email, so have it ready on your phone. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Required for entry | Immigration officers at Tashkent International Airport routinely ask for a confirmed onward or return ticket. Have a printed copy or the booking confirmation on your phone. Without one, you risk being denied boarding or entry. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Carry a printed hotel reservation or a notarized invitation letter from your host in Uzbekistan. Immigration may ask for it at the border, especially if you're arriving without a pre-booked hotel. A simple booking confirmation from Booking.com or Agoda works. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself | Have a bank statement or credit card showing at least $500 USD available for your stay. Officers rarely ask, but if they do, a screenshot of your online banking or a cash stack of $200–300 is usually enough to satisfy them. | Recommended |
Register within 3 days
If you're staying more than 3 days, your hotel will register you automatically. But if you're in a private apartment, you must go to the local OVIR office yourself. Failing to register can result in a fine when you leave.
Keep your registration slip
When you leave Uzbekistan, immigration may ask for your registration slip. Keep it with your passport. If you lose it, you could face delays or a fine at the airport.
What happens at the border
1
Apply for the e-Visa
Go to e-visa.gov.uz and fill out the application. You'll need to upload a passport-style photo and a scan of your passport bio page. Pay the fee online. Processing usually takes 2-3 business days, but apply at least a week before your trip.
2
Receive and Save Your Visa
Once approved, you'll get a PDF via email. Print a copy and also save it on your phone. The visa is linked to your passport number, so you don't need a physical sticker.
3
Arrival at Tashkent International Airport
When you land, follow signs to 'Passport Control'. Have your passport, printed e-visa, and return ticket ready. The officer will check your visa, stamp your passport, and you're in. The whole process usually takes 10-15 minutes.
4
Register with Local Authorities
Your hotel will register you with the local police within 3 days of your arrival. If you're staying with friends or in a private apartment, you must register yourself at the local OVIR office. Keep the registration slip — you may need it when leaving.
