Indian Citizens with Select Valid Visas Eligible for 30-Day Visa-Free Stay in Uzbekistan
The Embassy of India in Tashkent announced that Indian citizens holding valid multiple-entry business or tourist visas from select countries—including Australia, Canada, Japan, New Zealand, South Korea, Schengen states, the UK, and the USA—can stay in Uzbekistan visa-free for up to 30 days. Travelers must also have a confirmed return or onward ticket. Indian citizens without such visas must obtain an appropriate Uzbekistan visa. This follows Uzbekistan President Shavkat Mirziyoyev's recent visa facilitation announcement.
