Uzbek citizens need an e-visa to travel to Chad. The application is completed online before you fly, and you'll present the approved e-visa at immigration in N'Djamena. The e-visa is valid for a single entry and cannot be extended once you're in the country, so plan your trip accordingly.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| e-Visa for ChadYou cannot get a visa on arrival; you must have the e-Visa approved before you fly. Apply online before travel | Uzbekistan passport holders must obtain an e-Visa before arriving in Chad. Apply through the official Chadian e-Visa portal, complete the online form, upload required documents (passport scan, photo), and pay the fee. Processing typically takes a few business days; approval is sent by email. Print the approved e-Visa to present upon arrival. | Required |
| Passport validityIf your passport expires sooner, you may be denied boarding or entry. At least 6 months beyond your intended stay | Your Uzbekistan passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your planned date of departure from Chad. Check your passport's expiry date well in advance and renew if needed. | Required |
| Blank passport pagesBorder officials need a clean page to stamp your passport. At least 1 blank page | Your passport must contain at least 1 blank page for entry and exit stamps. Ensure no pages are torn or damaged. | Required |
| Return or onward ticketThis proves you intend to leave the country and helps satisfy entry requirements. Proof of departure from Chad | Immigration may ask to see a confirmed return or onward flight ticket showing you will leave Chad before your visa or authorized stay expires. Have a printed or digital copy ready. | Required |
| Proof of sufficient fundsNot always checked, but having proof can avoid issues at immigration. For your stay | Be prepared to show evidence of sufficient funds to cover your expenses while in Chad, such as recent bank statements, credit cards, or cash. The amount is not fixed but should match your length of stay and planned activities. | Recommended |
| Yellow fever vaccination certificateIf you've been in a yellow fever area, you must show the certificate; otherwise, it's not needed. Required if arriving from a risk country | A yellow fever vaccination certificate is required for all travelers arriving from countries with risk of yellow fever transmission. Uzbekistan is not on the risk list, but if you have recently visited a yellow fever endemic country, you must present the International Certificate of Vaccination. Carry it if applicable. | Required |
| Travel insuranceMedical care in Chad is limited; insurance can protect you from high costs. Recommended for medical coverage | While not mandatory for entry, comprehensive travel insurance covering medical expenses, evacuation, and trip interruption is strongly recommended due to limited healthcare facilities in Chad. | Recommended |
| Accommodation detailsHaving a place to stay shows you have planned your visit. Hotel booking or host address | Immigration may ask for your intended address in Chad. Have a hotel reservation or the address of your host ready to provide if requested. | Recommended |
