Contact the nearest Palestinian embassy or consulate
Find the Palestinian diplomatic mission that covers your region (e.g., in Moscow or Tashkent, if available). Call or email them to confirm the exact visa requirements, fees, and processing times for Uzbek citizens. Ask if you need to apply in person or can send documents by mail.

Prepare your application package
Gather all required documents: your passport (valid 6+ months), completed application form, photos, flight itinerary, hotel bookings or invitation letter, bank statements, and travel insurance. Make photocopies of everything for your records.

Submit your application and pay the fee
Submit your application to the Palestinian mission, either in person or by mail as instructed. Pay the visa fee (amount varies by mission and visa type). Keep the receipt as proof of payment.

Wait for processing
Processing can take anywhere from a few days to several weeks. Check with the mission for current timelines. Some applications may be referred to authorities in Ramallah for approval, which can add time.

Receive your visa and check the details
Once approved, you'll get your passport back with the visa sticker. Check that your name, passport number, and validity dates are correct. If anything is wrong, contact the mission immediately.

Travel to Palestine
