How to get the Uzbekistan E-Visa?
Filling the e-visa application form takes less than 10 minutes. The process of an Uzbekistan e-visa usually takes 2-3 days (sometimes up to 7 business days).
The e-visa is valid for all entry options: air and land borders. The e-visa can be Single Entry and Multiple Entry. With an electronic visa, you can stay in Uzbekistan for up to 30 days in total. The website is available in English, Russian, and Uzbek.
*Note: the starting date of the validity of your e-visa is the date that you send the application, not the date you receive your visa or not the date that you write as the starting point of your tour.
Once you get your e-visa, you are recommended to have a printed copy of it. The printed copy will be useful if the border officers want to see it, or if you want to buy a train ticket and even while checking in some hotels.
