Requirements and Instructions for Uzbekistan Visas
Entry/Exit Requirements
"A passport and visa are required. Although official invitation
letters are not required for American citizens applying for tourist
visas, they are required for those planning to visit an individual
who resides in Uzbekistan. Tourist visas cannot be extended in Uzbekistan.
Visas are issued by Uzbek embassies and consulates abroad. Visitors
coming from countries where Uzbekistan does not have diplomatic
or consular representation should obtain visas in a third country.
Visas are not available upon arrival at Uzbek airports. The Embassy
has received a number of reports from American citizens who have
had problems obtaining Uzbek visas or who received Uzbek visas valid
for a very limited period, usually for fewer than three months.
Americans seeking visas are encouraged to apply for their visas
well in advance of their travel.
It is important to note that Uzbek visas indicate not only the
validity of the visa, but also the period of time a person is allowed
to stay in Uzbekistan on a given trip. A visitor will have to leave
the country before the number of days indicated as the duration
of stay on the visa expires. Therefore, it is important to indicate
your intended period of stay when applying for your Uzbek visa.
American citizens who are affiliated with a non-governmental organization
(NGO) that has been closed in Uzbekistan may be prevented from entering
the country, even with a valid visa. All travelers, even those simply
transiting Uzbekistan for fewer than 72 hours, must obtain an Uzbek
visa before traveling to Uzbekistan." - US State Dept
