Omani passport holders can enter Uzbekistan without a visa for up to 10 days. This applies to tourism and business visits. Ensure your passport meets the validity rules before you travel.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must cover your entire stay in Uzbekistan | Your passport needs at least one blank page for the entry stamp. Uzbekistan does not require 6 months of validity beyond your departure date — just enough to cover the 10-day stay. Airlines may still enforce 6 months, so check with your carrier before flying. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of exit from Uzbekistan | Immigration officers at Tashkent International Airport routinely ask for a confirmed onward ticket. Have a printed or digital copy of your return flight or a ticket to your next destination ready. Overstaying the 10-day visa-free period incurs a fine of 100,000 UZS (~$8 USD) per day, payable at the airport. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Carry a printed hotel confirmation or an invitation letter from your host. Border officers rarely ask for it, but having it ready avoids delays. If staying with friends, ask them to register your address with the local migration office within 3 days of arrival. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself | Have access to at least $50 USD per day of your stay — a bank statement or credit card works. Immigration rarely checks this for short visa-free visits, but it's a legal requirement under Uzbek migration rules. | Recommended |
10-day limit is strict
You cannot extend your stay beyond 10 days. Plan your itinerary carefully to avoid overstaying.
