What Is the Uzbekistan Transit eVisa?

The Uzbekistan Transit eVisa is an official electronic visa option for travellers transiting Uzbekistan who need short-term entry—typically to change flights, connect to a third country, or pass through for up to 72 hours. The digital e-visa is issued by the Republic of Uzbekistan via the government e-Visa portal and was introduced as part of the country's expanding online visa programme to reduce consular processing and speed border checks.

Applications are submitted through the official portal (e-visa.gov.uz) or via DoVisa for guided completion and verification. After a successful application you receive an email confirmation and e-visa document (PDF) to present at the airline check-in and at immigration on arrival. The portal workflow asks for passport and travel details plus an uploaded photo and supporting travel documents.

This is an e-visa for transit only — it permits short stays while en route and is not a replacement for a standard tourist or business visa. Transit approvals are checked by airlines at departure and by immigration officials on arrival; final entry remains at the discretion of border authorities. Recent updates to Uzbekistan's visa regime have expanded electronic visa availability to more nationalities while retaining specific transit visa rules for short stays (up to 72 hours) processed by diplomatic missions for some travellers.

For full Uzbekistan entry rules see Uzbekistan visa information and the official e‑Visa portal at e-visa.gov.uz. When you’re ready, Apply now to start your application with DoVisa guidance and document checks.

Onward Travel & Transit Visas

Transit applicants must hold an onward ticket and any required visa for their final destination — some nationalities also need a pre-approved transit visa issued by a diplomatic mission. See the official e-visa portal at e-visa.gov.uz.

Vaccination & Health Advice

No vaccines are specifically required for entry, but routine immunisations and Hepatitis A are recommended. Check the CDC travel advice for Uzbekistan for up-to-date health guidance (CDC Uzbekistan).

Travel Insurance & Medical Care

Travel insurance is strongly recommended. Medical facilities outside major cities may be limited — have a plan for medical evacuation if needed and carry documentation of medical prescriptions when travelling.

Travel Tips for Uzbekistan Visitors

Language: Uzbek is the official language; Russian is widely spoken and English is common in hotels and tourist centres.
Time zone: Uzbekistan Time is GMT+5 (no daylight saving).
