Uzbekistan visa-free entry for citizens of Italy: 2026 entry rules

No. An Italian national enters Uzbekistan without a visa for a tourist stay, with a 60-day stay attached. The exemption covers tourism and short visits; employment, studies or settling in the country fall under a specific permit, to be requested from the Uzbek embassy or consulate responsible for Italy. Check on Uzbekistan's official portal, before booking, that the exemption applies to your situation and to the planned length of your trip.

No prior step means no processing time to plan for: only the preparation of your documents matters. Check your passport's remaining validity against Uzbekistan's requirements and renew it in time if necessary. Note the entry date so as not to exceed the 60 days attached to the exemption, and keep the registration slips issued by your accommodation, which may be requested when you leave the country. Travel insurance covering medical costs and repatriation is strongly advised.

On arrival, the immigration officer checks the Italian passport, its remaining validity and the purpose of the stay. Have a return or onward ticket, proof of accommodation in Uzbekistan and, if asked, evidence of sufficient funds to hand. During the stay, registration with the local authorities is normally handled by your accommodation (hotel, guesthouse); if you stay with a private host, find out about the steps to take, described on the official portal. The minimum passport validity required is also stated there.

No visa fee is due for a tourist stay, since no visa is issued to Italians on this route. The e-visa prices circulating online concern other nationalities or unofficial websites: a site selling you an “Uzbekistan e-visa” for an Italian passport on a tourist trip is charging for a step that does not exist. The documents needed are limited to the valid Italian passport and the usual travel evidence. Any other entry requirement should be checked on Uzbekistan's official portal.
