Brazilian passport holders can enter Uzbekistan without a visa for stays up to 30 days. This visa-free policy is valid through 2026 and applies to tourism and business visits. Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from your arrival date.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must cover your entire stay in Uzbekistan | Your passport needs at least one blank page for the entry stamp. Uzbekistan does not require 6 months of validity beyond your departure date — just enough to cover your stay. Airlines sometimes enforce their own 6-month rule, so check with your carrier before flying. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Immigration may ask for proof of departure | Uzbekistan border officers occasionally ask for a return or onward ticket at Tashkent International Airport. Have a printed or digital copy of your flight booking ready. A refundable ticket or a cheap onward flight to a neighboring country works fine. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Carry a printed hotel reservation or a letter of invitation from your host in Uzbekistan. Immigration rarely checks it for short stays, but having it avoids delays if they do. A simple Booking.com confirmation is sufficient. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself during your stay | Officers may ask for proof of at least $50 USD per day of your stay. A bank statement, credit card, or cash in USD or euros works. Most travelers never get asked, but have something ready just in case. | Recommended |
Passport validity counts from arrival
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the day you land in Uzbekistan, not from your departure date. If it expires sooner, you'll be denied entry.
No visa needed for 30 days
Brazilian passport holders can enter Uzbekistan visa-free for up to 30 days. No application, no fee, no paperwork — just show your passport at the border.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at Tashkent International Airport (TAS)
Most flights from Brazil arrive at Tashkent International Airport. After landing, follow signs to 'Passport Control'. There are separate queues for foreigners and locals — join the foreigners line.
2
Present your passport and boarding pass
Hand over your passport and boarding pass. The officer will check your passport validity and may ask for your return ticket. Answer clearly and briefly. No visa is needed, so no additional paperwork.
3
Receive entry stamp
The officer will stamp your passport with a 30-day entry permit. Check the stamp before leaving the counter — ensure the date is correct. Keep the stamp visible; you'll need it when leaving.
4
Collect luggage and exit
After passport control, proceed to baggage claim. Then head to customs — green channel if you have nothing to declare, red channel if carrying over $10,000 or restricted items.
