Processing typically takes 2–4 weeks, but can vary. Apply at least 6–8 weeks before your planned departure to allow for delays.

Visa fees vary by embassy and visa type. Expect to pay around 50–100 USD for a single-entry tourist visa. Check with the specific embassy for the exact fee.
Extensions are not available for Uzbek passport holders. You must leave before your visa expires.
