Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your Lithuanian passport needs to be valid for the entire time you plan to stay in Uzbekistan. No minimum validity beyond your departure date is required by Uzbek law, but airlines may enforce a 6-month rule — check with your carrier. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Uzbekistan | Immigration officers at Tashkent airport routinely ask for a return or onward ticket before granting entry. Have a printed or digital copy of your outbound flight booking ready. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Carry a hotel reservation or a letter of invitation from your host in Uzbekistan. Border officers occasionally request this, especially if you arrive without a clear itinerary. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show sufficient money for your stay | Have a bank statement or cash equivalent to roughly $50–$100 per day of your trip. Officials rarely check this for visa-free visitors, but it helps if questioned. | Recommended |
6-month passport validity is strictly enforced
Uzbekistan immigration checks your passport validity from the day you arrive, not your departure date. If you have less than 6 months left, you will be denied boarding by the airline or entry at the border. No exceptions.
No visa, no fee — but keep your documents handy
Visa-free entry means you just walk through immigration with your passport. But always have your return ticket and accommodation confirmation accessible — officers can ask for them.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at the airport in Uzbekistan
You will go through immigration at Tashkent International Airport or other entry points. Join the 'Foreign Passports' queue. Have your passport and boarding pass ready.
2
Present your passport and receive entry stamp
Hand over your passport. The officer will check your validity, stamp it, and you are in. No visa, no fee. The whole process takes 2–5 minutes.
3
Keep your arrival card if given
Some airports hand out a small arrival/departure card. Do not lose it — you will need to return it when you leave. If you do not get one, do not worry.

Frequently asked questions
No — the visa-free stay is strictly 30 days. It cannot be extended. If you want to stay longer, you will need to apply for a visa in advance, such as a tourist visa, through an Uzbek embassy or consulate.
If you stay more than 3 days, your hotel or host must register you with the local authorities. If you are staying in private accommodation, you need to do it yourself at the nearest OVIR office. Keep the registration slip — you may need to show it when leaving.
No — there is no need for one. You get visa-free entry for up to 30 days. If you need a longer stay, you must get a visa before you travel.
You will be denied entry. The 6-month validity rule is strictly enforced. Renew your passport before you travel.
Yes — the visa-free policy applies at all land borders too. Just make sure your passport has enough blank pages and validity. The same 30-day limit applies.
No — there is no official requirement to show bank statements or cash. But if you look like you might overstay or work illegally, an officer could ask. Having a credit card or some cash in USD or EUR is sensible.
