Indonesian passport holders can enter Uzbekistan without a visa for stays up to 30 days. This policy has been in place since 2023 and covers tourism, business, and transit. Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from your arrival date.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your passport needs to be valid for at least the full 30 days you plan to stay in Uzbekistan. Airlines at Jakarta and Bali check this before boarding. No 6-month validity rule applies here. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Uzbekistan | Immigration officers at Tashkent International Airport ask for a confirmed onward ticket. A flight out to any destination within 30 days works. Budget airlines like AirAsia and Uzbekistan Airways check this at check-in. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Have a printed or digital hotel confirmation for at least the first few nights. If staying with friends, a simple invitation letter with their address and phone number works. Officers rarely ask but it smooths things out. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself | Carry at least $500 USD in cash or have a credit card with available balance. ATMs at Tashkent airport work for Visa and Mastercard. Immigration doesn't always check, but budget airlines sometimes do at check-in. | Recommended |
30-day stay is strict
The visa-free stay is exactly 30 days from the date of entry. It cannot be extended. Plan your departure carefully — overstaying even by a day can result in a fine of around 200,000 UZS (about $18 USD) and a note in your record.
No visa needed for transit
If you're just transiting through Uzbekistan (e.g., connecting flights at Tashkent Airport), you don't need a visa as long as you stay airside. For land transit, the visa-free policy covers you for up to 30 days.
What happens at the border
1
Arrival at Tashkent International Airport
After landing, follow signs to 'Passport Control'. Join the queue for foreign nationals. Have your passport and boarding pass ready. The officer will check your passport validity, may ask for your return ticket and hotel booking. They'll stamp your passport with a 30-day entry stamp. The whole process usually takes 5-15 minutes.
2
Arrival at other land borders or airports
Same process as Tashkent. At land borders (e.g., from Kazakhstan or Kyrgyzstan), you'll fill out a simple arrival card. Keep the departure portion safe — you'll hand it back when leaving.
3
Departure from Uzbekistan
At the airport, go to 'Passport Control' for departing passengers. Hand over your passport and the departure card (if you received one). The officer will stamp you out. No exit fee.

Frequently asked questions

Hotels handle registration automatically for their guests. If you're staying in private accommodation (e.g., Airbnb), the host must register you within 3 days. Keep the registration slip — you may need to show it when leaving. If you move between hotels, each one will register you again.
You'll likely be denied boarding by the airline or refused entry at the border. The 6-month validity rule is strictly enforced. Renew your passport before traveling.

The local currency is the Uzbekistani som (UZS). US dollars are widely accepted for exchange. Bring crisp, new $100 bills — older or damaged notes may be rejected. ATMs are available in Tashkent and major cities, but may have withdrawal limits.
