Consular visit visa (on MFA confirmation): Pakistani citizen in Pakistan → Uzbekistan
Pakistani citizens are not on Uzbekistan's visa-free or e-Visa lists and need a consular visa: an inviting party in Uzbekistan obtains an MFA visa confirmation, then you apply at the Uzbek mission with your passport, forms and photos.
Uzbekistan's ordinary short-stay visa for nationals not on the visa-free or e-Visa lists — issued by an Uzbek diplomatic mission on the basis of an MFA visa confirmation arranged by an inviting party in Uzbekistan.
- Validity
- Issued for the requested period — a 30-day tourist (T) visa, or single-entry visas from up to 7 days to up to 1 year
- Entries
- Single entry (multiple-entry visas available separately)
- Max stay per visit
- Up to 30 days for a tourist (T) visa (up to 1 month); other categories per the visa issued
When to start
Start 10–21 days before your travel date.
Pakistan is not on Uzbekistan's visa-free list or on Appendix 1 (the e-Visa list), so you need an ordinary visa issued by an Uzbek diplomatic mission on the basis of a visa confirmation from the MFA Consular and Legal Department.
An inviting legal entity or individual in Uzbekistan applies to the MFA Consular and Legal Department with an invitation-application (via evisa.mfa.uz) to obtain your visa confirmation. Written applications to the MFA are considered within 4 working days.
Once the confirmation is issued, submit your passport, two completed visa application forms and two colour photos to the Uzbek Embassy or Consular Office accredited for your country.
Pay the consular fee — from USD 40 (single entry, up to 7 days) to USD 160 (single entry, up to 1 year), or USD 40 for a 30-day tourist visa — and collect your visa. Your passport must be valid at least 3 months longer than the visa.
Enter Uzbekistan on your visa, then register your place of stay within three working days — hotels do this automatically; a private host registers you on my.gov.uz. Keep the registration slip for exit control.
