Vietnam to Uzbekistan visa requirements

Vietnamese ordinary passport holders need a visa for Uzbekistan, but most travelers can simply apply online for an Uzbekistan e-visa before departure. It is a single- or multiple-entry e-visa allowing up to 30 days, costs USD 20, and is usually issued within about 2 working days. Travelers aged 55 or above on an organized tour group can enter visa-free for up to 30 days. As of 2026, Vietnam is not on Uzbekistan's general visa-free list. The Uzbek Ministry of Foreign Affairs grants visa-free 30-day entry only to Vietnamese citizens aged 55 and over traveling for tourism (in an organized group), so ordinary adult Vietnamese travelers under 55 require a visa. The simplest channel is the official Uzbekistan e-visa (e-visa.gov.uz), for which Vietnam is an eligible nationality. The standard tourist e-visa is single entry, allows a stay of up to 30 days, is valid 90 days from issuance, and costs USD 20. Applications should be filed at least 3 days before travel; processing is typically about 2 working days. Apply only through the official portal e-visa.gov.uz to avoid third-party markups. Uzbekistan is not in the Schengen area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply.
