Italy to Uzbekistan visa requirements

Q: How long can I stay in Uzbekistan without a visa?

Up to 30 days per visit. For longer stays you must obtain an e-visa or a consular visa before the 30-day period ends, as visa-free entries are not normally extendable.

Q: Do I need to register my stay in Uzbekistan?

Yes. Hotels register guests automatically. If you stay in private accommodation, register your address with local authorities through the e-mehmon online system within 3 working days of arrival.

Q: How long must my passport be valid?

Your passport should be valid for at least 6 months beyond your entry date and have a blank page for the entry stamp.

Q: Can I work in Uzbekistan on visa-free entry?

No. Visa-free entry is for tourism and short visits only. Work, long-term study, or residence require the appropriate visa obtained in advance.

Q: What happens if I overstay?

Overstaying can lead to fines, deportation, and possible future entry bans. Always exit within the 30-day window or secure a visa to extend your stay.

Italian ordinary passport holders can visit Uzbekistan visa-free for up to 30 days for tourism. No visa or e-visa is required for the short stay; simply arrive with a valid passport. Since 1 February 2019, Uzbekistan grants unilateral visa-free entry to citizens of Italy (and most EU states) holding any category of passport, including ordinary passports, for stays of up to 30 days regardless of trip purpose. This is confirmed by Uzbekistan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs (gov.uz). Italian tourists therefore do not need a visa or e-visa for a short visit; they only need a valid passport (recommended validity of at least 6 months from entry) and onward/return arrangements. Foreign nationals staying in hotels are automatically registered; those staying in private accommodation should register with local authorities within 3 working days via the e-mehmon system. For stays longer than 30 days, travelers must obtain an e-visa (e-visa.gov.uz) or a consular visa before the visa-free period expires, as visa-free entries are generally not extendable. As of 2026-05-30 there are no Schengen/ETIAS considerations, since Uzbekistan is not in the Schengen area.
