Most visa-exempt nationalities can stay up to 30 days; Kyrgyzstan citizens can stay up to 60 days, and citizens of Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Moldova, Russia and Ukraine have no time limit.
Is there a visa-free transit option through Uzbekistan?
▼
Citizens of over 100 eligible countries can transit through Uzbekistan for up to 5 days without a visa, provided they hold an onward air ticket to a third country and the carrier notifies Uzbek border authorities in advance.
Can I get an Uzbekistan visa on arrival at the airport?
▼
Visa on arrival at Tashkent International Airport is only available to citizens of countries that have no Uzbek diplomatic mission or consular office, and to stateless persons; everyone else must get an e-Visa or embassy visa before travelling.

How long is the Uzbekistan e-Visa valid once issued?
