Poland to Uzbekistan visa requirements

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

Up to 30 days per entry. The period begins the moment you cross the Uzbekistan border.

Q: What if I want to stay longer than 30 days?

Apply for an e-visa at e-visa.gov.uz (from USD 20) or a regular visa, which allows longer stays of up to 30 days each but with up to 90 days validity for the e-visa.

Q: Is registration required in Uzbekistan?

Hotels register guests automatically. If you stay in private accommodation, check the current registration procedure to avoid fines when leaving.

Q: Does the Schengen 90/180 rule or ETIAS apply to Uzbekistan?

No. Uzbekistan is not in the Schengen area or the EU, so neither the Schengen short-stay rule nor ETIAS applies.

Q: How long must my passport be valid?

Your passport should be valid for at least 6 months from your date of entry.

Polish citizens with an ordinary passport can travel to Uzbekistan visa-free for tourism and stay up to 30 days. No visa or e-visa is required for short visits within this period. Poland holds visa-free access to Uzbekistan under Uzbekistan's unilateral visa-waiver program, which covers all EU member states. An ordinary Polish passport holder may enter without a visa and remain for up to 30 days per stay for tourism or short visits. The Uzbekistan Ministry of Foreign Affairs lists the Republic of Poland in the up-to-30-days visa-free category. No advance application, fee, or e-visa is needed; travelers simply present a valid passport at the border. Uzbekistan is not part of the Schengen area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply. Passports should be valid for at least 6 months. If a stay exceeds 30 days, a longer e-visa (e-visa.gov.uz) or regular visa is required instead. Travelers staying in hotels are registered automatically; those in private accommodation should be aware of local registration practices.
