Do I need a visa for Italy from Uzbekistan?
Discover visa requirements for your trip
Yes, Uzbek citizens need a Schengen short-stay (Type C) visa to visit Italy. The adult fee is typically €90.
Uzbekistan is not on the Schengen visa-exempt list. An Uzbek traveller planning a tourist trip to Italy must obtain a Schengen short-stay visa (Type C), valid for up to 90 days within any 180-day period. The application is prepared before departure at the Italian consulate or its outsourcing partner.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. Uzbek nationals are subject to the Schengen visa requirement. For a tourist stay in Italy of up to 90 days, this is the uniform Type C visa. Italy must be your main destination (or your first point of entry if durations are equal) for the application to fall correctly under the Italian consulate.
How and where to apply
The Uzbek applicant lodges the file at the Italian Consulate General or its external partner (VFS Global, BLS or TLScontact) in their country of residence. You book an appointment, complete the Schengen form, give biometrics (fingerprints and photo) and submit the file in person. The official Vistoperitalia portal is used to prepare the application and identify the competent centre.
Documents and fees
The file includes a passport valid at least three months beyond your intended departure, the signed form, a compliant photo, travel medical insurance covering at least €30,000, accommodation and transport bookings, proof of sufficient funds and an itinerary. The visa fee is generally €90 for an adult; confirm the exact amount and any reduced rates on the official portal.
Processing and tips
Processing usually takes 15 to 45 days; apply several weeks ahead and no earlier than six months before travel. A complete, consistent file that shows ties to Uzbekistan lowers the risk of refusal. Check the official source for any health entry requirement, such as a yellow-fever certificate if you transit through a risk area.
Common mistakes
Do not apply to the wrong country: if Italy is not your main destination, the competent consulate is that of the country where you spend the most time. Other classic errors are insurance below €30,000, a passport with insufficient validity, or an accommodation booking that does not match the itinerary. Always confirm the required documents on vistoperitalia.esteri.it.
