Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must cover your stay in Uzbekistan | Your passport needs at least one blank page for the entry stamp. Uzbekistan does not enforce a 6-month validity rule — your passport just needs to be valid for the duration of your stay. Airlines may still ask for 6 months, so check with your carrier before flying. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Immigration may ask for proof of departure | Have a printed or digital copy of your onward ticket out of Uzbekistan. Officers at Tashkent International Airport occasionally ask for it, especially if you arrive without a clear itinerary. A flight booking to any destination works. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Keep a copy of your hotel reservation or a letter from your host. Immigration rarely checks it for short stays, but having it ready avoids delays if they do. A simple booking confirmation email is fine. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can cover your stay | Carry a bank statement or credit card showing access to funds. Uzbekistan does not publish a minimum amount, but having around $500 USD equivalent in cash or available credit covers most scenarios. ATMs are widely available in Tashkent. | Recommended |
10-day limit is strict
You cannot extend your stay beyond 10 days. Plan your itinerary carefully to avoid overstaying.
