Israel to Uzbekistan visa requirements

No visa required. Israeli ordinary passport holders can enter Uzbekistan visa-free for tourist stays of up to 30 days. Israeli citizens holding ordinary passports enjoy visa-free access to Uzbekistan for stays of up to 30 days, regardless of the purpose of the visit. This visa-free regime was introduced on 10 February 2018, when Uzbekistan abolished visa requirements for seven countries: Israel, Japan, Indonesia, South Korea, Malaysia, Singapore, and Turkey. The waiver is confirmed by both the Uzbekistan Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Uzbekistan Airways. No advance application, e-visa, or fee is needed for a short tourist trip; travelers simply present a valid passport on arrival. The passport must be valid for at least 6 months and have blank pages. Uzbekistan is not in the Schengen area, so the 90/180 Schengen rule and ETIAS do not apply. Travelers who wish to stay longer than 30 days, or who prefer to pre-register, may optionally apply for an e-visa via the official portal (e-visa.gov.uz), but this is not required for a standard short visit. Note that visitors staying in private accommodation may need to be registered with local authorities within three days of arrival, though hotels handle this automatically.
