Step-by-Step Guide to Applying for an Uzbekistan eVisa

Follow our comprehensive 6-step guide to successfully apply for your Uzbekistan electronic visa online. This detailed walkthrough will help you navigate the application process with confidence.

Before You Begin

The entire application process takes approximately 15-20 minutes to complete. Ensure you have a stable internet connection, your passport, a digital photograph, and a Visa card for payment.

Step 1: Select Your Country and Travel Details

Begin your application by visiting the official Uzbekistan eVisa portal at e-visa.gov.uz. The first step involves providing basic information about your nationality and travel plans.

What You'll Need to Provide:
  • Country of Citizenship: Select your nationality from the dropdown menu
  • Visa Type: Choose between single-entry, double-entry, or multiple-entry
  • Purpose of Visit: Select \"Tourism\" for leisure travel
  • Port of Entry: Choose your intended arrival point (airport or border crossing)
Important Note

If your country has a visa-free arrangement with Uzbekistan, the system will notify you that you don't need to apply for an eVisa. Citizens of some EU countries, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore may be exempt.

Step 2: Enter Your Travel Dates

Specify your intended travel dates to Uzbekistan. This information helps determine the validity period of your eVisa.

Date Requirements:
  • Intended Date of Entry: Your planned arrival date in Uzbekistan
  • Intended Date of Exit: Your planned departure date
  • Maximum Stay: 30 days within the 90-day validity period
Pro Tip

Your eVisa will be valid for 90 days from the date of issue, not from your intended entry date. You can enter Uzbekistan at any time during this 90-day window.

Step 3: Complete Your Personal Data

This is the most critical step of your application. All personal information must match exactly with your passport data page.

Required Information:
  • Full name (as in passport)
  • Date of birth
  • Place of birth
  • Gender
  • Nationality
  • Passport number
  • Passport issue date
  • Passport expiry date
  • Contact information
  • Current address
Common Mistakes to Avoid:
  • Entering names in different order than passport
  • Using shortened names (e.g., \"Tom\" instead of \"Thomas\")
  • Confusing passport number characters (O vs 0, I vs 1)
  • Incorrect date formats
Critical Warning

Any discrepancy between your eVisa and passport information will result in entry denial. Double-check every character, including spaces and punctuation marks.

Step 4: Upload Required Documents

You need to upload two digital documents: a scan of your passport's data page and a compliant photograph.

Passport Scan Requirements:
  • JPEG format only
  • Maximum file size: 500KB
  • All four corners visible
  • Clear and legible text
  • No shadows or reflections
  • High resolution (300 DPI recommended)
Photograph Requirements:
  • JPEG or PNG format
  • Recent photo (within 6 months)
  • Plain white background
  • Neutral facial expression
  • No glasses (recommended)
  • ICAO compliant standards
Photo Tips

Step 5: Email Verification and Activation

After completing your application, you'll receive an activation email. This step is crucial for proceeding to payment.

Activation Process:
  1. Check your email inbox (including spam folder)
  2. Look for email from the eVisa portal
  3. Click the activation link or enter the code
  4. Return to the application portal
  5. Proceed to payment step
Time Limit

The activation link expires after 24 hours. If you don't activate within this time, you'll need to start a new application.

Step 6: Payment and Final Submission

The final step involves paying the visa fee using a Visa card and receiving your eVisa confirmation.

Payment Details:
  • Accepted Cards: Visa credit or debit cards only
  • Payment Security: Secure international payment gateway
  • Fee Policy: Non-refundable regardless of application outcome
  • Cardholder: Can be different from the applicant
After Payment:
Immediate Confirmation
  • ✓ Payment confirmation on screen
  • ✓ Application reference number
  • ✓ Confirmation email sent
Processing Period
  • ⏱ Standard processing: 2 working days
