Registan Square and a turquoise dome in Samarkand — visa for Uzbekistan

Visa-free travel

Uzbekistan Visa

Visa-free entry with a stay of up to 90 days.

Azerbaijani citizens can travel to Uzbekistan without a visa. The agreement between the two countries allows a stay of up to 90 days on an ordinary passport. A valid passport is enough at the border.

Under a protocol that came into force on 15 January 2024, no registration is required for trips of up to 15 days. For longer stays, residence registration must be completed; hotels usually handle this themselves, but if you are staying in a private flat the responsibility is yours. Work and study are not covered by this arrangement.

Tashkent, Samarkand, Bukhara and Khiva are the main stops on the Silk Road route. High-speed trains are the comfortable option for travel between cities, and tickets sell out quickly in season. Viza.az books the high-speed train tickets in advance and builds the Silk Road itinerary.
