| Valid passport Must cover entire stay | Your passport must be valid for the full duration of your stay in Uzbekistan. No minimum validity beyond departure is required by Uzbek law, but airlines may enforce a 6-month rule — check with your carrier. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Required for entry | Immigration officers at Tashkent International Airport routinely ask for proof of onward travel. Have a printed or digital copy of your return or onward ticket ready. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Recommended | Hotel booking confirmations or a letter of invitation from a host can speed up the immigration process. Officers rarely ask, but having it ready avoids delays. | Recommended |

eVisa is the only option
Colombian passport holders cannot get a visa on arrival. You must apply and receive approval before flying to Uzbekistan.
Passport validity is critical
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the day you enter Uzbekistan. If it expires sooner, you'll be turned away at the airport.
What happens at the border
1
Apply for the eVisa online
Go to e-visa.gov.uz, fill out the application form, upload a passport-style photo, and pay the fee. Processing usually takes 2-3 business days. You'll receive the approval by email.
2
Pack your documents
Print or save to your phone: the eVisa approval email, your return ticket, and your first night's hotel booking. Keep them easily accessible.
3
Arrive at the airport in Uzbekistan
At Tashkent International Airport (or any other entry point), go to the foreign passport queue. Hand over your passport — the officer will scan it and see your eVisa. They may ask for your return ticket and hotel address. Answer clearly. You'll get a stamp and you're in.
