United Arab Emirates to Uzbekistan visa requirements

Q: Do I need an Uzbekistan e-visa?

No. The previous e-visa requirement no longer applies to UAE passport holders; entry is visa-free.

Q: How valid must my passport be?

Your UAE passport should be valid for at least six months from your date of entry.

Q: Is Uzbekistan in the Schengen area?

No. Uzbekistan is not a Schengen country, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply.

Q: Do I need to register my stay?

Hotels register guests automatically. If staying in private accommodation, register with local authorities within three working days.

UAE ordinary passport holders can travel to Uzbekistan visa-free for short stays of up to 30 days per visit. No visa or eVisa is required in advance. Holders of a United Arab Emirates ordinary passport do not need a visa for short visits to Uzbekistan. Uzbekistan MFA/Gov.uz lists the UAE among countries eligible for 30-day visa-free entry, and the UAE-Uzbekistan mutual visa-exemption arrangement effective 15 January 2024 covers UAE ordinary, special, and mission passports for stays up to 30 days per visit. The passport should be valid for at least six months. Uzbekistan is not part of the Schengen area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply. Travelers simply present a valid passport at the port of entry; an Uzbek eVisa is not required for UAE citizens. Visitors staying in unregistered private accommodation may need to observe local registration rules, though hotels handle this automatically.
