Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your passport must be valid for at least the full 30 days you plan to stay in Uzbekistan. Airlines at Mexico City and other departure points may ask to see your passport at check-in — have it ready. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Uzbekistan | Immigration officers at Tashkent International Airport routinely ask for proof of onward travel. Have a printed or digital copy of your return flight or a ticket to your next destination ready. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Carry a printed hotel reservation or an invitation letter from your host. Border officers occasionally ask for this, especially if you arrive without a clear itinerary. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself during your stay | Have access to at least $50 USD per day of your stay, either in cash, a credit card, or a bank statement. Officers rarely check this for Mexican passport holders, but it helps to have evidence ready. | Recommended |
Registration requirement for stays over 3 days
If you're staying in Uzbekistan for more than 3 days, your hotel must register you with the authorities. If you're staying with friends or family, you must register in person at the local OVIR office within 3 days. Keep the registration slip — you'll need it when you leave.
