From February 10, 2018 the citizens of Indonesia, Israel, Malaysia, the Republic of South Korea, Turkey and Japan can enter Uzbekistan without a visa for the period of 30 days.

This new decree of the President Mirziyoyev eases planning travels to Uzbekistan and travelers from a good number of countries can enter Uzbekistan without a visa or can get the Uzbek visa without needing any Letter of Invitation (LOI) from local travel operators. Besides, the members of crews of the foreign airline countries which operate regular flights to Uzbekistan can enter Uzbekistan without a visa.
