Before planning a visit to Uzbekistan, visitors need to arrange via tour companies a VISA SUPPORT LETTER, which has to be submitted directly to the Consular Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Uzbekistan in Tashkent.
A personal interview with an applicant may be required. In such cases, an applicant will be informed by the Consular Section of the Embassy of the Republic of Uzbekistan.
All foreign citizens visiting Uzbekistan for more than 3 days are subject for a mandatory REGISTRATION with the Local Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs within 72 hours upon their arrival.
- They should provide an international passport or a biometric travel document and have to be accompanied by their legal guardians.
- They may enter and stay in Uzbekistan for the validity period of the entry visa of the accompanying person, but no longer than 90 days from the date of entry into Uzbekistan.

All travelers will need a passport valid for at least 90 days following your departure date from Uzbekistan. However, we strongly recommend traveling with 6 months validity on your passport at all times. Citizens of United Kingdom can refer to www.ips.gov.uk for forms and instructions for new passport applications and British passport renewals.
Most destinations, including Uzbekistan, require that you have adequate un-used pages in your passport, allowing for any necessary stamps upon arrival and departure. We recommend that you have at least two free pages in Visas section of your passport before any international travel. British citizens can get extra passport pages added to their passports at www.ips.gov.uk.
Check with your airline in case you have connecting flights overseas as part of your journey to Uzbekistan. It may be the case that countries you pass through en route to your destination may require a separate transit visa. Please refer to visa requirements of the specific country.
