Do Indians need a visa for Uzbekistan?

Yes, for now. Indians apply online for the Uzbekistan e-visa on the official portal (e-visa.gov.uz) – about US$20 for 30 days, usually issued within about 3 working days. A 30-day visa-free arrangement for Indians was announced in August 2026, but no start date had been set when this guide was written – we confirm the latest rule before you travel.
