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 be in Uzbekistan. Airlines check this at check-in, and immigration officers in Tashkent will verify it on arrival. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Uzbekistan | Immigration at Tashkent International Airport routinely asks for a confirmed onward or return ticket. Have a printed copy or a screenshot ready on your phone — they check this before stamping you in. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Carry a printed hotel reservation or an invitation letter from your host. Officers in Tashkent occasionally ask for it, especially if you arrive without a clear itinerary. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself during the stay | Have a bank statement or credit card ready showing you have enough money for your trip. Immigration rarely checks this for Slovenian passport holders, but it's better to have it on hand. | Recommended |

Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the day you enter Uzbekistan. Airlines check this before boarding — if your passport expires sooner, you won't be allowed to fly.
No visa, no fee, no paperwork
Slovenian passport holders get a full 30 days visa-free. No application, no fee, no registration needed. Just show up with a valid passport and a return ticket.

Show your return ticket if asked
Immigration officers occasionally ask for proof of onward travel. Just show your booking on your phone or a printout. They rarely ask for accommodation proof, but it's good to have it handy.

Frequently asked questions
No, the visa-free stay cannot be extended. You must leave Uzbekistan before the 30 days are up. Overstaying can result in fines and future entry bans.
No, the arrival declaration requirement is not enforced for Slovenian passport holders. You don't need to register with local authorities during your stay.
You'll need to apply for a visa in advance. The e-visa system is available for citizens of many countries, but Slovenia is visa-free, so you cannot apply for an e-visa. For longer stays, contact the Embassy of Uzbekistan in Vienna (Austria) or check with the nearest consulate.
Yes, you can enter via any land border crossing. The same visa-free rules apply. Just have your passport and return ticket ready. Popular crossings include the Dostyk border from Kazakhstan and the Osh border from Kyrgyzstan.
No, it's not mandatory. But it's strongly recommended. Medical care in Uzbekistan can be expensive, and a basic travel insurance policy covers emergencies, hospital stays, and repatriation.
You will be denied boarding by the airline or refused entry at the border. No exceptions. Renew your passport before traveling.
If you're transiting through Uzbekistan and staying airside (not passing through immigration), you don't need a visa. If you plan to leave the airport, you'll need to meet the visa-free requirements (valid passport, return ticket).
