In order to enter Uzbekistan every visitor from every country (except for some CIS countries) must have a valid visa issued by an Uzbekistan Embassy or General Consulate abroad (see address section). Nationals of the countries where Uzbekistan is not represented by any of its Diplomatic or Consulate Missions can apply for Uzbek visa at the nearest Uzbekistan Embassy or General Consulate. Similarly, for their convenience, the nationals of the countries in which Uzbekistan diplomatic representations are available can still obtain Uzbek visa at the Uzbekistan Embassy or General Consulate located in the country other than the country of their citizenship.
