Passport validity for Uzbekistan

GOV.UK says your passport must have an expiry date at least 3 months after the date you arrive in Uzbekistan.

Count from the day you arrive, not the day you leave. If your passport expires sooner, renew it before you book.

Visas

You can visit Uzbekistan without a visa for tourism or business for up to 30 days. For other purposes or longer stays, check with the Uzbek Embassy in the UK.

Make sure you get your passport stamped on entry. Border guards check the stamp on exit. Overstaying can lead to a fine and deportation.

Registration and customs

You must register with the local OVIR within 3 days of arrival, including weekends. Hotels register you. If you are camping, register yourself online through Emehmon.

Declare money over 10,000 US dollars and keep a stamped copy of your customs declaration. Check medicines before you travel, as some, including codeine, cause problems.
