Taiwan (Chinese Taipei) to Uzbekistan visa requirements

A Taiwan (ROC) ordinary passport holder needs a visa to visit Uzbekistan. Taiwan is not on Uzbekistan's visa-free or e-visa eligibility lists, so travelers must obtain a traditional (sticker) tourist visa in advance from an Uzbek embassy or consulate, normally supported by a Letter of Invitation from a licensed Uzbek travel agency. As of mid-2026, Uzbekistan grants 30-day visa-free entry to dozens of nationalities and offers an e-visa to a defined list of additional countries (which includes Hong Kong but NOT Taiwan). Because the ROC (Taiwan) passport appears on neither list and Uzbekistan and Taiwan have no diplomatic relations, Taiwanese travelers fall into the standard sticker-visa channel. A short-stay tourist visa is typically single-entry for up to 30 days. Since there is no Uzbek diplomatic mission in Taiwan, applicants generally secure a Letter of Invitation (LOI) registered with Uzbekistan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs through an authorized local travel company, then submit the visa application to an Uzbek embassy/consulate abroad (or arrange consular pickup). Sources conflict slightly — one general country table labels Taiwan 'eVisa' — but the authoritative Uzbek visa-policy eligibility list and the official e-visa portal do not include Taiwan, so the conservative and accurate verdict is visa-required.

/06 — The risks

Common refusal reasons

by frequency
/01
Taiwan not on the e-visa list
Uzbekistan's e-visa covers a defined set of nationalities (including Hong Kong) but not the ROC/Taiwan passport, so the online route is unavailable.
High
/02
No visa-free agreement
Taiwan is not among the nationalities granted 30-day visa-free entry to Uzbekistan.
High
/03
No diplomatic relations / no Uzbek mission in Taiwan
Without an Uzbek embassy in Taiwan, applicants must use an LOI and apply abroad, complicating the process.
Medium
/04
LOI requirement for tourist visas
Most Taiwanese tourist applications require a Letter of Invitation registered with Uzbekistan's MFA.
Medium
/05
Conflicting third-party data
Some aggregator tables mislabel Taiwan as 'eVisa'; the official eligibility list does not include it, so the sticker visa is the safe route.

Can Taiwanese travelers get an Uzbekistan e-visa online?
No. The ROC/Taiwan passport is not on Uzbekistan's e-visa eligibility list (which includes places like Hong Kong but not Taiwan), so the online e-visa cannot be used. A traditional sticker visa is required.
