Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your passport needs to be valid for the entire time you plan to stay in Uzbekistan. Airlines check this at check-in. If your passport expires within 30 days of entry, you may be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Uzbekistan | Immigration officers at Tashkent airport routinely ask for a return or onward ticket. Have a printed or digital copy ready showing you leave within 30 days. Airlines also check this before issuing a boarding pass. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Border officers may ask where you are staying. Have a hotel confirmation or a letter from your host with their address and contact number. This is rarely checked for short stays but keeps things smooth. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself | Officials can ask for evidence of sufficient funds. Carry a bank statement or credit card showing access to at least $100 per day of your stay. Most tourists never get asked, but it helps to have it ready. | Recommended |
Passport validity is strictly enforced
Uzbekistan requires your passport to be valid for at least 6 months from your date of entry. Airlines check this before boarding, and immigration will deny entry if your passport expires sooner. No exceptions.
Keep a digital copy of your documents
Save screenshots of your return ticket, accommodation booking, and passport photo page on your phone. If you lose your passport, these copies will help at your embassy and with local authorities.
What happens at the border
1
Prepare Your Documents
Before leaving, check your passport validity (6+ months from entry date) and save digital copies of your return ticket and first night accommodation confirmation. Download an eSIM or buy a local SIM for connectivity.

Arrive at an International Airport
You'll land at Tashkent International Airport (TAS), Samarkand (SKD), or Bukhara (BHK). Follow signs to 'Passport Control' — there are separate queues for foreigners and citizens.

Present Your Passport and Documents
Hand over your passport to the immigration officer. They may ask for your return ticket and accommodation details. Answer clearly. The officer will stamp your passport with a 30-day entry permit.

Collect Your Luggage and Exit
After passport control, proceed to baggage claim, then customs. Use the green channel if you have nothing to declare, or the red channel for goods over the duty-free limit. Keep your passport stamp visible for hotel check-in.
