Frequently asked questions
From application submission to visa in hand, expect 2–4 weeks. This includes 1–2 weeks to get an appointment at the embassy in Tashkent, plus 5–10 business days for processing after your interview. Apply at least a month before your planned departure.
The visa fee is around $80 USD (equivalent in Uzbek som), but check the current rate with the embassy. Fees are non-refundable if your visa is denied. You may also need to pay a service fee for the online application portal.
No. Uzbekistan is not eligible for the Brazilian e-visa. You must submit your application online first, but then attend an in-person interview at the Brazilian Embassy in Tashkent to submit documents and give biometrics.
You'll receive a letter explaining the reason (e.g., incomplete documents, insufficient funds, unclear travel purpose). You can reapply after addressing the issue, but you'll need to pay the fee again. Common rejection reasons: weak ties to Uzbekistan (job, family, property) or inconsistent travel history.
No. Brazilian visas for Uzbek citizens are not extendable. You must leave before the visa expiry date. Overstaying results in fines and potential entry bans. If you need more time, apply for a longer visa upfront or leave and re-enter.
Yes, if you're arriving from a country with yellow fever risk (Uzbekistan is not one, but if you've recently travelled to an endemic area, you need proof). For direct travel from Uzbekistan, it's not mandatory, but the vaccine is recommended. Carry your yellow card just in case.
Check transit visa requirements for your layover country. For example, if you transit through Turkey, you don't need a visa for up to 24 hours. If through the EU, you may need a Schengen transit visa. Always confirm with the airline before booking.
