It is only necessary for citizens of Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, the Russian Federation and Ukraine to carry a passport (Visa is not required). There is a simplified Visa procedure for the citizens of Austria, Belgium, Germany, France, Italy, Japan, Latvia, Malaysia, Spain, Switzerland, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the United States. To obtain a Tourist Visa, all other foreign nationals need Visa support from one of the Travel Companies authorized by the National Tourism Company "Uzbektourism". Visa support application is submitted by the Travel Agency to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Uzbekistan in Tashkent. The approval period is about 4 - 7 working days for Urgent Visa and 7-10 working days for usual Visa.
The approved Visa support is faxed directly to the Embassy or Consulate of the Republic of Uzbekistan in the country where the traveler is receiving the Visa.
Visa can be obtained in the Consular Missions of the Republic of Uzbekistan abroad. In the Tashkent Airport Visa can only be issued to those persons who are arriving from the countries where the Republic of Uzbekistan does not have permanent diplomatic or consular missions.
The Republic of Uzbekistan has missions in following countries: Afghanistan, Austria, Azerbaijan, Belgium (Luxemburg), Canada, China, Egypt, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Iran, Israel, Italy, Japan, Kazakhstan, Korea, Kyrgyzstan, Latvia, Malaysia, Pakistan, Poland, Russian Federation, Saudi Arabia, Tajikistan, Turkey, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, the USA, and Vietnam; and consular departments in following cities: Athens (Greece), Bangkok (Thailand), Dubai (UAE), Frankfurt-am-Main (Germany), Istanbul (Turkey), Jeddah (Saudi Arabia), Mazar-e-Sharif (Afghanistan), New-York (USA).

We will book the all the nights accommodation for you in your desired Hotels in Tashkent and in other cities depending on your tour package. This is necessary while receiving Visa at Uzbek embassy. Also, this information will be asked at airport immigration desk when you will arrive to Tashkent. If you lack such documents on arrival in Tashkent, you may not be permitted to enter the country.
If you apply for a Visa in a country without Uzbek diplomatic representation, you must show letters of invitation and approval in order to board the plane. At Tashkent airport, immigration officers will check them against their copies, and issue the Visa for the appropriate fee. If they fail to find your name on their lists, contend that your Visa is still being processed. A friendly tone aids all negotiations, as does apologetic ignorance of the changing rules.

Travel around Uzbekistan by rail or land sometimes requires brief exits into neighboring countries. Travelers should have a multiple entry Uzbek visa and proper visas for the neighboring countries in order to avoid delays in travel. Please review your itinerary.
