How to Correct Errors in an Uzbekistan eVisa Application
Discover your options for fixing mistakes in your eVisa application and learn prevention strategies for future applications.
Important: No Direct Corrections Possible
Once submitted, eVisa applications cannot be edited or corrected. The system does not allow modifications to submitted applications, regardless of the type of error.
If you discover a significant error after submission, you must submit a completely new application and pay the full fee again.
Types of Errors and Their Impact
Critical Errors (Require New Application)
These errors will likely cause rejection and require a new application:
- Name spelling errors: Names not matching passport exactly
- Passport number mistakes: Incorrect passport number
- Birth date errors: Wrong date of birth
- Nationality mistakes: Wrong country selected
- Gender errors: Incorrect gender selection
- Passport validity dates: Wrong issue/expiry dates
Action Required
Submit new application immediately if you notice any critical errors.
Don't wait for rejection - start the new application process right away.
Minor Errors (May Be Overlooked)
These errors might not cause rejection but could cause delays:
- Address typos: Small mistakes in home address
- Phone number errors: Wrong contact number
- Email typos: Minor spelling mistakes in email
- Accommodation details: Hotel name variations
- Travel date adjustments: Small date changes
Wait and Monitor
Monitor application status for minor errors.
Many minor errors don't affect the approval process.
