| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Uzbekistan | Immigration officers at Tashkent International Airport routinely ask for a confirmed onward or return ticket. Have a printed or digital copy of your flight itinerary ready. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Carry a printed hotel reservation or a letter of invitation from your host in Uzbekistan. Officers may ask for it during entry questioning, especially if you arrive without a clear itinerary. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show sufficient money for your stay | Have bank statements or cash equivalent to at least $50 USD per day of your stay. Immigration rarely checks this for short visits, but it can be requested if you look underfunded. | Recommended |
eVisa is single-entry only
The Uzbekistan eVisa allows one entry. If you leave the country (even for a day trip), you'll need a new visa to re-enter.
Passport validity counts from entry date
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the day you arrive in Uzbekistan, not from your departure date. Double-check before applying.
