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.
