The first question for any traveller from Uzbekistan is simple: do I need a visa or not? In 2026 the answer is more often "no." Under the "Uzbekistan–2030" strategy approved by the president on 16 February, the number of countries Uzbek citizens can enter visa-free will grow from 34 to 50. Your passport opens more doors every year, and the only thing left is to find the ticket.
Below we gathered the destinations you can reach on an Uzbek passport in 2026 without a visa or under a simplified process, their allowed stays, and live ticket prices on mysafar.uz.
Right now Uzbek citizens can visit 34 countries with no visa at all, and another 42 countries under a simplified process — an e-visa or a visa on arrival. The "Uzbekistan–2030" strategy sets a step-by-step target: 36 visa-free countries in 2026, rising to 50 by 2030.
Recent additions include China (from 1 June 2025, up to 30 days visa-free) and Jordan (from 25 September 2025, up to 30 days). The mutual deal with China allows 30 days per visit and up to 90 days total within any six months.

Visa-free countries that Uzbek travellers pick most often:
These countries need no embassy visit. The visa is issued online or at the airport:
Passport validity. Many countries require a passport valid for at least 6 months from the entry date.
Return ticket. Border officers may ask for a return ticket and a hotel booking, so a round-trip ticket booked in advance helps.
Proof of funds. Some countries ask you to show enough money for the trip.
Pick a route, set the date, and compare several airlines on one screen. Booking takes a couple of minutes, with payment via Payme, Click, Uzcard or Visa/Mastercard. On many routes you can also pay for the ticket in instalments.
