Mozambican passport holders need a visa to enter Uzbekistan. You must apply for an e-visa online before you travel — there is no visa-on-arrival option. As of 2026, the process is straightforward but requires careful attention to passport validity and supporting documents.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Visa application Apply for a visa before travel | Mozambican passport holders need a visa to enter Uzbekistan. Apply at the Uzbekistan Ministry of Foreign Affairs visa portal or at an embassy. Processing takes up to 10 working days — start at least 3 weeks before your flight.Apply for visa | Required |
| Valid passport Must cover your entire stay | Your passport needs at least one blank page for the entry stamp. Uzbekistan does not require 6 months validity beyond departure — just cover your stay. Airlines may still enforce 6 months, so check with your carrier. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Uzbekistan | Immigration officers at Tashkent airport routinely ask for a confirmed onward ticket. Have a printed or digital copy of your flight out of Uzbekistan ready. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Carry a printed hotel confirmation or an invitation letter from your host. Officers may ask for it during the visa application process or at the border. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself | Have bank statements or cash equivalent to at least $50 USD per day of your stay. Officers rarely check this for short visits, but it helps if asked. | Recommended |
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 will be denied boarding or entry. Count from your arrival date, not your departure date.
Apply early for the e-visa
Processing takes 2-3 business days, but delays happen. Apply at least a week before your trip to avoid last-minute problems.
What happens at the border
1
Apply for the e-visa online
Go to the official Uzbekistan e-visa portal (e-visa.gov.uz). Fill in your personal details, upload a scanned copy of your passport bio page, and a recent passport-style photo. Pay the fee online. Processing usually takes 2-3 business days, but apply at least a week before your trip to be safe.
2
Receive and print your e-visa
You'll get the approved e-visa by email as a PDF. Print a copy and save it on your phone. You'll need to show it at check-in and on arrival in Uzbekistan.
3
Arrive at the airport in Uzbekistan
At Tashkent International Airport (or any other entry point), go to the immigration counter. Hand over your passport, printed e-visa, and boarding pass. The officer will check your passport validity, stamp you in, and you're done. Keep your return ticket and accommodation confirmation accessible — they may ask.
